Always loved this film. Some cool shots of B-17G's and that low level flyby is incomparable on film. :shock:

You can watch almost all of this film on Youtube, but this segment with the flyby also has the staged belly landing too 8) :

Have it on DVD. Great film for the most part..love the begining with the checklest and startup. The love story is corny as hell, but the B-17 shots are very nice.

That looks like a cool magazine. I visited the website for some info. I like the way they revisit the same sites where events happened in the past.
