When you stand next to a B-17 its hard to believe how small they are.
They were huge in their day, but look puny and dangerous today.

Happy Birthday to a fine lady.
Many of us owe our existence to her, although in my case it is the B-29 since my dad was in the South Pacific late in the war.

Boeing plants built a total of 6,981 B-17s in various models, and another 5,745 were built under a nationwide collaborative effort by Douglas and Lockheed (Vega). Amazing when you think of how much industrial capacity we had back in WW II. I'd hate to think what would happen if we ever needed to fight a real war again.

Grandpa got three bronze stars flying on one of these. Once sustained serious flak damage over Germany and crash-landed only a mile past the line into allied-controlled France. Can’t decide which grandpa had better stories, this one or the one in the south pacific.
