Did this one really keep flying?? https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/fb/c0/f4/fbc0f4ed76b0bd9b621be2af1eddeb35.jpg View Quote No, it's upside down and spinning. Crew is probably pinned to the walls by centrifugal force knowing they will die |

That B-17 on its back with half a wing gone, isn't coming back
And I doubt any were able to bail out All the years those men gave up, had taken away, the debt they paid, only to be squandered by the lowest common denominator 60 years later. And they don't care either. |

The "B-17" sequence in the animated movie Heavy Metal is pretty impressive.
Not the entire sequence, but https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZlBre8lOeQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELUP-oZQKM4 |

I got a great picture of the B29 FiFi while the CAF had it in Birmingham.
Really nice art type shot. I know they had some of their B17, you might check with them |

Look for a book called great aircraft of ww2. I think that is the name. It has illustrations from Rikyu? Watanabe, awesome illustrations.
