One of my wife's uncles rode one of those from Pearl Habor to Guam after Guam was secured (sorta). He was a civilian contractor doing reconstruction work.
I saw on of them flying over Southern California last year. They are used as water bombers for firefighting these days. Big, and looked like it was moving so slow it would fall out of the sky.
