Military keyword > naum > B-24 bomber navigator Ed "Red" Weir, taken in the "greenhouse" of his B-24D Liberator "Red Ass."  Probably taken in the skies near Fort Myers, Florida, circa 1942, while Ed was in his final phase of training, before he flew over to England to join the air war against Hitler in the fall of that year.  Ed's sitting in the seat normally occupied by the bombardier, Al Naum, who took this photo.
