25,000 feet, I get to see France from 25,000 feet. I sometimes wish I was back on the ground in France. As I stared in wonderment, the horror and terror had an ironclad grip. Messerschmitt's, their guns pointed toward the fragile airframe. 10 seconds, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. The bullets rip through the B-17.

This explores the life on a B-17. The danger of flying into enemy airspace without a Fighters escort. As they often did, because Fighters have half the operational range as Bombers
