The Unimportant Hero He was young, not college trained... only a corporal and he felt like a very small and unessential cog in the giant Air Force machinery! Yet, he loved to fly... he loved big XB-585 that were so awkward on the ground, of such graceful beauty in the air! Air Force corporal Bud Candless didn't want to get out but he had excellent reasons for the decision he hated to make...

Just flying the B-26 was enough to make an old man out of me even though I was only twenty-three back in 1943 when we were fighting in North Africa! But, to make it worse, I had to have a Tennessee Wildcat for a top turret gunner... who thought I was yellow!

Or a man wearing the U.S. Air Force uniform who was trying to send airmen to their deaths! Whoever it was did a nasty job on the B-58 Hustler!
