I never really liked the Colt Aircrew revolver. I usually left it locked up on base and flew with the Colt Official Police revolver that I flew with in combat over Korea. I always carried it loaded with .38-44 ammo and did not believe that the Aircrew would survive this ammo.
I never knew much about the Aircrew until someone sent me the info in an email. I could not give him much info. I was looking through some old military papers today and found the slip with the S/N where I turned it in. I do not remember who sent me the info. I lost his email address and thought he might visit this forum and recognize his original description.
So what if I broke the rules. I was flying nuclear capable B47's on what would probably be a one way mission.
FWIW
