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.

No kidding and feeling how thin the skin on it is amazing.. No wonder we lost more men in the skies of europe then the marines in the Pacific.

What a great feeling - I took a ride in “Aluminum Overcast” three years ago at Airventure. Sat in the bombardier’s seat while they flew low across the countryside.
