 Not by any chance.  I flew gunnery in the AT-6 (Harvard) back in early
 1943.  That is the one we took into the canyon... My military career
 was from 1942 until 1966.. Flew lots of other in between the AT-6
 and the B-52.

  I can remember some of the low-level practice bombing missions
 over that August desert at 500 feet... Rough is a mild word.
