B17 story

I just did a quick google search for B17 images and came up with this story that I thought might be of interest to the group. http://www.urbanghostsmedia.com/2012/11/rediscovery-salvage-of-downed-b-17-flying-fortress-bomber-swamp-ghost/

Thank you Lloyd.

It's amazing how intact that plane was, considering it crashed in the jungle. I'm going to be in the LA area in the spring. If I'm lucky I'll get out to Chino and maybe get a glimpse of it.

I think I read something here before about this bomber.

That they picked it up and transport it is new to me.
