looks like it took a lot of damage before succumbing, look at the elevator and inner t/e of port wing.

This plane was known as "Wee Willie". It suffered a direct hit from flak. Only a couple of the crew managed to bail out. I remember reading about this photo in one of those "history of the 8th airforce" type books.

this proves the balls it took to be an aircrew on a B-17.

Just makes me sick that there is such a lack of respect. There is an entire crew inside.
