Tom Jones talks about Flak Bait

Tom Jones took time after his talk to visit with audience members.
Monday's presenter at the Museum's Speaker Series was veteran astronaut and Essex native Tom Jones, who talked about Flak Bait, the most famous B-26 in the war.  Tom joined the Museum's bus tour in the Spring to get a look at the Marauder under restoration at the Smithsonian's Udvar-Hazy Center.  He has been back to watch the progress. Tom showed several pictures of Flak Bait under restoration and during its combat years.
