Many blessings and thanks to Mr. Foulks for his lifetime of dedication to the memory of the crew of Mi Amigo, whom he saw in their final moments of life. The B-17 was returning from a bombing mission to Aarlborg, Denmark, flying on one engine when it crashed just beyond the park where Mr. Foulks and his friends were playing on Feb 22, 1944.

Ping on a Brit’s lifetime of tribute to the memory of a USAAF B-17 crew that didn’t make it back home.

The pilot maneuvered at the last moment to avoid the boys playing on the heath, the best place for an emergency landing.

Beautiful story. Thanks for the ping.

Incredible story, thank you for posting.

Thanks for posting. It is a reminder of what we once were. Unfortunately, it is also a reminder of how far down we have sank.

The turnout. There's still some good ones left.
