Ditto on the B-25/52 mix-up, but it was Col. DOOLITTLE who flew off the carrier USS Hornet and bombed Japan. Now, the A-6 Intruder flies off carriers with the same load as a B-17.

EITHER THE B-52 THING WAS A SIMPLE(?) ERROR,
OR MAYBE THEY SHOULD LOOK AT THOSE TEST RESULTS
AGAIN.... IT'S NOT WHAT HE'S GONNA DO TO HIMSELF
WHEN HE CRASHES, IT'S WHO HE'S GONNA TAKE WITH

Your subject may have trained B-25 pilots during WWII, but he didn't train B-52 pilots then because the B-52 didn't fly until the late 40s or early 50s and was not put into the Air Force inventory until sometime in the 50s. WWII was over in 1945!

Nice story, however, the WW II aircraft could not possibly have been a B-52 as the B-52 wasn't brought into service until the 1950's. Perhaps the author of this article meant to say B-17 or B-29 rather than B-52.
