Engine
change on Shack, D-Day June 6, 1944 (6 hrs) Bruce Chelstrom, Raymond McDouough,
Forbes, Malvern Jones
This record-setting
engine change is referenced in the "Story of the 446th Bomb Group"
book in the section D-Day: Minus and Plus..." Ground crews worked
through the night and day to keep the maximum number of planes ready to
fly. In the 704th a new engine arrived for the Shack II. Normally an engine
change is a 24 hour job, but twenty-four hours after this one had arrived
the Shack II had been out twice."
