With balls that big, it's surprising that the crew fit into the plane.

So many stories like that from WWII. I like to glamorize it, but better be realistic and try to understand the sacrifices that had to be made to preserve our way of life in the USA.

I had a pic my brother sent me of a B-17 flying along the Hudson a couple years ago. I was trying to narrow down which one it was, not too many of them restored; it might have been on the way to an airshow.

That does it! I'm getting out my Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator 3. It's an old game but it was difficult to fly and hit targets. I have to put a sound card in the pc to accept the old Gravis Blackhawk.
