Four of the B-24 crew, along with some Navy guys.
The Navy guys went up for a flight. We shot off the machine guns and impressed the Navy guys.
So the Navy guys invited us to dinner on their ship which equally impressed us B-24
guys because the tables had real tablecothes on them and the food was really
good in comparison to what we had been used to eating.
