Bob Keating grew up visiting his grandparents’ farm west of Liberal, and he would lie under a row of trees and watch the B-24 Flying Fortresses take off from the Liberal Army Airfield and fly across the Kansas sky.
“They came right up over the top of that tree row, and they never hit the house,” Keating said. “They bellied two of them in the field after the house. It probably wasn’t the smartest thing to do, to lay there and watch those B-24s take off.”
