Unbelievable! I cant imagine how the B-17 managed to land safely. Thanks for sharing.

How many gunners were normally included in a B-17 crew? It seems like a couple are missing from the list on your post. I’ll bet the tail and waist gunners figured they had had enough excitement for one day when the ME crashed into their work space.
