Quite a bird. Dear Old Dad (RIP)was an engine mech on the 1830 at Bradley Field (KBFD) during WWII. He would tell me they would come back from Europe all shot-up he would overhaul engines and send them back. It's amazing some are still airworthy.

I always wished during WWII when I was about 5 or 6 years old that I was old enough to fly one of these, But they didn't let kids that young go to war.OH WELL Now 81 & to late.

A beautiful warbird, that shot a heck of a lot of Luftwaffe fighters out of the sky.

Beautiful shot Ron! My favorite old warbird.

My father-in-law was on his very first mission as a copilot on a B17 over Italy when they were hit by flak. Everyone was able to bail out and the plane flew on, eventually crashing into a large volcanic lake (Lake Bolsena). About 4 years ago, Italian researchers discovered and raised the ball turret gun from about 300 feet down, almost totally intact, guns weren't even bent. Further research was able to identify and match the crew with that aircraft and we learned all the stories of what happened to them all after bailout. Fascinating stuff.

I cracked to tears seeing the tragic demise of this great bird at the airshow. Personally my uncle flew 50 missions in 17's out of Foggia IT in WWII, one he flew home with #1 and #2 feathered an fire after ditching all guns armor and ball turret to reduce weight to clear the Carpathian mountains @115 mph. Mechanics then swapped the engines and fixed that one in 3 days! This aircraft which is an effort to honor those WWII heros represents 10's of thousands of hours of loving restoration, the crews who maintain and fly them. My heart goes out to those just lost their lives and those who dedicated so much to let us not forget the sacrifices of those some 80 years ago.
