New B-17 book

Fri Mar 27, 2020 8:06 am

Hello everyone, I hope everyone is staying healthy and safe. I just wanted to share that Hal Bryan and myself wrote a book about the EAA’s B-17. More than that, it’s about the stories which have been shared by the veterans we have flown. We’ve all talked about how these aircraft bring out the memories and stories. With this book we hope we’ve captured that. I just wanted to share this here with anyone who might be interested. Thank you all as always. Stay well!

Does the EAA have a seat with a seatbelt for their crew chief or do they stand also ? Just curious how all the other B-17 operators operate.Thanks.

Got mine ordered.

I absolutely loved Ethell's books with the crew stories and I'm looking forward to this. Thanks for your part in putting it together.

Thank you guys. We all know that these Aircraft help bring out some amazing stories. We thought it would be special to take a snap shot if you will of just one airplane’s ability to do it. I’m so excited and honored to have the chance to do this.

I ordered a copy the moment I got an email about it from EAA. I expect it on Saturday and can hardly wait to dig into it during this long period of sheltering in place.

Depending on how the two interviews I've had in the last two days go I will order it, or at least put it on the ol wish list.
