I saw the movie when it came out. Thought the color scheme looked familiar. I was aboard the HE-111 they used in that movie, the [then] Confederate Air Force flew her and a B-24 to Metcalf Field in Toledo for display. It was a passenger model with the windows, painted in period camo, I think one got a glimpse of it in the movie, but I could be mistaken. Still cool. One can almost stand up in a B-24, but you sure can’t in a B-17. Amazing how cramprd they are inside...
You see photos of the B17 waist gunners where there appears to be a fair amount of room to move around, but it’s a lot less than you would assume.

I took a ride on the EAA’s B17 and 6’3 me had some adventures getting around in it. Well worth the $400 ride.
This is handheld 60D footage. Just happened to be there when a slot came open. I just went to look at it.

That He 111 may be the one that was lost in a Wyoming crash.
