John Allen

When I got on the flightline as a newby or wiper my new crew tried pulling the prop wash trick on me.My father was a crew chief on B-17's in WW2,so I already knew all the tricks.So I think that I pissed off the guys when I told them that I was not going to play their games.

Does anyone know the fate of aircraft 56-483? The last I knew,it was stationed at Naha 1970 and flying Blind Bat.

Hello all,

To Bruce Kapaun;

My name is John Allen.I was your ACC on 56-483 when it started flying BB.I'm not very good at remembering names,but I,m pretty sure that we rented a bungalow with AJ Green after bungalow 67.
