My admiration for all the pilots who flew the B17 and especially for those who gave their lives to shorten the war

I don't live to far from Podington, and even closer to that of RAF Tempsford and Bassingbourne. Your videos really interest me. You say it's from The Doc Furniss War. Where would I be able to get this from. As I have alot of admire and proudness of our vets from then. My Gt Gt Uncle was a Hawker Hurricane Pilot, and my grandad was Chief Stoker on HMS Medway. So have alot to thank these lads for keeping England and the US free from madmen. Many thanks for these vids.

Great short video of an aircraft that helped bring freedom to Europe. God bless all who served in WWII ( "The Big One" as my dad and many of his fellow servicemen called it), especially those who didn't return. Our WWII and Korean War Vets are fewer in number each year. If you see one, thank him or her for their service.

My Grandpa piloted 33 missions over Germany and occupied France from Jan-May of 1945. He was with the 384th Bomb Group, 545 Squadron. Short landed twice in Belgium after taking flak but never lost a crew member. His first mission as a true pilot was fire-bombing Dresden, Germany. Welcome to the war I guess.

@wingking077 These guys had a lot of bal*s going up everyday after watching their friends getting shot down on previous missions.

Brave guys never to be forgotten. I'd be scared. Daylight bombing was so dangerous. Wonderful 'plane that helped us out in the UK at the worst of times. So much to thank those flyers for....

Why are the guns not moving?

Surely the gunners would scan the sky for bandits.
