• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

RE: Amazing WWII B-17 story

Amazing, simply amazing what damage a B-17 could take and still fly. And the ability of the Pilot and Co-Pilot to to fly without instruments is amazing and the navigators dead reckoning navigation was superb even after being knocked out for awhile. Great story.:medals::medals::medals:

Incredible, as so many damaged B-17 were & made it back. The pilot is truly outstanding as well. Can't imagine landing this one without my goggled head sticking out the window to see. Good read, Brad, thanks.

The B-17 was one of the toughest bombers to ever take to the skies. Many absorbed massive amounts of damage and returned home.
