Hello all,
My grandfathers B-17 flight crew is getting together this month and was wondering if any of you had any questions for me to ask them.
I have some but maybe you all have some I did not think about. I will repost after I talk with them.

uh...how hard was it actually to shoot down a plane? Harder than AH? Did a lot of them barrel roll in from the side and try to go for the wing? How accurate were the bomb sights?

hmmm...let me think

Be sure to post all that you get

Mainly, what went through their minds when they were overseas? What was it like?

Thanks

Here's a couple based on current game play.

How ofter did they take a fully loaded B17 up to 35K?

How often did they turnfight a fighter at high altitude?
