Wendnesday 09/05/07 Snapshot

[68falcon]

All are welcome to participate. Those of you that have registered for the scenario "Das Grosse Schlag" could look at this as a practice frame.

Event will begin at 10 PM EST

The B-17 was the most enjoyable aircraft I ever flew. I arrived in the UK an experienced B-17 pilot and used the B-17 on every kind of Scouting Force job: weather recon, photo recon, dropping lifeboats, air and sea rescue. At Wormingfold the P-51 Mustang pilots used to do ‘peel ups’ – great swoops over the runway- before landing, so we did the same in a B-17 until the CO put a stop to it, saying it would be his butt if some bigwheel saw us landing like that.

I flew 30 missions with the 833rd Bomb Squadron, 486th Bomb Group and in that time I lost all my officers to enemy action by the 6th mission.
