Two Beautiful Gals............

[DRB]

I always liked the looks of the B-17 but since I work for Boeing I am a bit biased. I had the honor of working with several B-17 crew members when I first started at Boeing. There were a few people who had helped build them still working there at the time. The plane that was known to come home on a wing and a prayer. It could lose an engine and maintain altitude while a B-24 could not. My Brother in Laws Father in Law was 15th AF B-17 pilot. Flew missions from Italy to Germany and once came back on 3 engines losing one over Germany.
