">I’m hoping a FReeper can help me! When I was in middle school (late 70s) our school library had several great books about WWII. I was particularly fascinated by those about planes and bombing raids. One book had a picture, I think taken from the bomb bay doors, of a B-17 dropping its payload. Normally the planes were in a formation that would allow them to drop the bombs, even while planes were beneath them. This particular picture showed a bomb hitting and knocking off one of the tail wings of the bomber below. The bomb didn’t explode in mid-air, but the picture captured the moment the tail wing was knocked off.
Over the years I’ve searched for this picture but have never been able to locate it. A few years back I called my old school and talked with the librarian. She told me any books from the late 70s were long gone.
Any FReepers remember this picture?
