B24D Hail Columbia,344th Bomb Squadron,98th Bomb Group,flown by Col.John Kane

It gives me great pleasure to release this plane for download.I have to thank several people
 whom made this plane possible.Jaxon for starting the project,Rammjager for
 allowing the use of the b-17 ball turret and many of his original ideas.And anyone who showed interest and support.

I am planning on continually upgrading this plane and this release is version one. I could tweak
and upgrade forever but then the plane would not be enjoyed by anyone else.I hope you get as
 much pleasure out of flying this plane as I did making it.Thank you.
