My Father, Lester W. "Smoky" Halonen
(Crew Chief), received the Bronze Star for developing a method of using "de-icer
hoses" on the B-24, to extend flight time between engine changes. Before his
inventive modification, engines were changed out every 250 hours. SHOO-SHOO BABY
was the first B-24 to log 500 hours without an engine change.
