My wife's Dad flew B24's in the ETO - Imagine 4 of those puppies screaming at you for 8 hours a mission. He can't hear worth a crud, is highly decorated and I remind him all the time that my generation has his generation to thank for everything we have. We gladly took them in last summer so they could be around their grandkid's. Unfortunately, he's fightin' pretty bad cancer and won't be around much longer. Great Guy, and like many of that generation, very humble. Personally, I think the best sounding plane ever made were the 12 banger P51's. Regardless off preference, planes from that generation are some of the sweetest sounding machines ever produced.
