On the morning of April 7th 1943 a large strange machine appeared in the sky above Clonakilty in the south of Ireland. The USAAF B-17 had got lost on the way to England from North Africa and was rapidly running out of fuel.
On board were 36 bottles of rum, 11 airmen, and their pet monkey.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
