Not exactly where I'd want to be on the bomb run. But anything to get a good picture. God, I love those clean running 2600s!

Wow.
Remember seeing the B-17 in one of my history books a while ago.
Was anyone killed in the RAF one?

I've seen the photo sequence pics of the B-17 in numerous books and outher sources. Some of the captions have mentioned that the B-17 went into a death spiral shortly after the last picture was taken with none of the crew members getting out.

I'm seconding John's comments. I think I saw that in Edward Jablonski's "Flying Fortress" when I was a kid.

Classic book!
