There is nothing like looking up and seeing the majestic B-17 roar overhead. It is sad though that there are virtually none left when there were thousands of them scraped after WW11 for their metal. Such a shame. In the next few days if you hear a loud roar overhead around 4-5pm, remember that these bombers and their brave young men played a major part in ending the war in Europe. God bless America!
