Last night I flew a long B-17G mission and on the return leg I came under attack by enemy fighters, losing my #2 and #3 engines, the tail turret, a waist gun, the right flap and both remaining fuel tanks punctured. I had ~20 minutes of fuel left at cruise revs when the fighters attacked. Once the fight began I went to full power. After the fight was over I had 13,000ft of altitude left when the engines quit due to lack of fuel, so I decided to try to glide to safety.
After it became apparent that I would not be able to glide to the base I bailed out of the #1 bomber. The #2 bomber's damage list was identical to the #1 bomber's list and it had no fuel. So I bailed out and into the #3 bomber. The #3 bomber had no damage listed, but also had no fuel. I was unable to get any of the bombers to the base.
