Sam: Just found this in Freeman's Mighty Eighth War Manual on page 148. It's the only referece I can find in any of my books. This in reference to the F model:
:......and the rubber deicer boots became torn by shell fragments and cartridge cases ejected from ball turret guns."
I'll try calling Jack and see if I can get to the bottom of this.
