I'm sure that Art has no more idea of the real reason for the change in the
ETO than I have.....he more likely is just telling us what the B-26 guys
were saying at the time which may or may not have been accurate. I'd sure
like to hear what the guys in the B-25 outfits that were moved had to say
about their PCS to the MTO.
