tell you something i would rather go on holiday on one of these bueties than go on a plane with no excitement involved at all also the sound of the engine u wouldnt need to listen to the crying child behind you :D
Miss Lace (aka Dorothy Partington is my mother). She was the model and inspiration for the Male Call cartoon series by cartoonist Milton Caniff. Mother was Miss Lace from 1941-1946 and the strip was distributed to over 3,000 bases around the world. Mother passed away last month, and she would have been so gratified and uplifted by this video tribute to the plane that bears her likeness and character. I like to think of her in the sky now, only much higher up. This video is so inspiring.
f you like the B17 i have a story for u in 1943 UK east harling . An american airman took to war with him a coin SEAL it was his fathers .The coin was very soon to become the good luck Icon for the base and then all of the other bases.Unknown to them they were carrying the seal of god on their missions.The coin was one of four sewn into Jesus cloke it had been past hand to hand to this momentin time Hitler had to go .See The real christos coin u tube to see the mission
Hello ,it is very nice airplane. Is it possible to get more information about airplane, like scale, weight , wingspan material for construction etc.? Bigero
First things first. That piece of footage of the old birds being lined up for destruction is truely heart-breaking. I know they were weapons but surely....... Anyway, Great Tribute. Excellent video. Absolutely faultless model. That Pilot was great. The build looks as though a lot of love was involved. I love the beautiful finish on that polished Metal surface. How was that achieved? I never get results like that. Truely remarkable. New subscriber here.
There was a famous Liberator pilot who did very hard things to bring his plane back intact. After surviving combat, what happened? He watched on TV as his bomber was summarily shoved into a pit to be scrapped.... He was flabbergasted.
Great tribute..Nice toy..Kind of sad to see those old war relics sitting in the arizona heat,rotting away, when so many depended on them...That's allot of scrap metal and our tax dollars sitting there.
Nice!-Great B-17 tribute. My dad flew 51 missions over Europe in B-17s as a waistgunner during WWII. He lost many crewmates & some of his crew were German POWs. Today, at age 88, he says he is one of the luckiest men on earth to have survived. He was among those who helped prepare these planes for storage - he called it "pickling'' the planes.
There's nothing like a B-17! ***** Fantastic model, filming and flying. What a tribute to, one important reason, why we continue to live free. Thanks for sharing this... Perhaps, someday, I'll build one for myself.
Excellent model building, end especially excellent flying skills! None of that jerking around that one usually sees in flying rc aircraft. Was that engine starting sequence filmed in reverse? I can't believe the plane has self- starters unless it's battery- powered.
soo....let me get this straight....because we dispossed of aircraft that 5 years after the War ended were obsolete we screwed ourselves over....even though even now the USAF is the most advanced and by far the best air force in the world...and had we kept those planes we would have fallen back into a depression right after WW2 ..we sold the planes for scrap its not like we just tossed them away..many of them were recycled and used to build new planes..so please dont say stuff that is irrelevant.
We're a terrible country because we recycled most of 125,000 obsolete aircraft. Just saving a couple for the museums wasnt enough, we should have kept every single one of them in the field you see in this video. Oh and we could pay several hundred people to maintain them too! What a great idea!
Idiots like you that cant stop complaining about what should have happened or what they want are usually the causes of a countries flaws.
Explain to me why we Americans should be ashamed. These old planes, they were obsolete and of no use after the war! You should be embarrassed to post such an idiotic statement.
I'd like to say this to all those who reply with "if i built this model, I'd be afraid to fly it", then never build a model like it. I used to build similar models and you can't be afraid to fly them. Half the fun of having these aircraft, is the ability to see them fly. If you build it and not fly it, it's not as rewarding. Cheers :)
If I had built a model like that I would be afraid to fly it. This is a nice video, and a very well done model. I have a poster of this airplane. It's nice to have a little more background on it.
What the hell are you even trying to say? Please do the world a favor and learn how to complete a sentence. And you would not have even had the ability to watch High Definition if it wasn't for the Black and White era and technology.
man, the beginning was realy hurting me,bud the rc modell is great, we still find some lost birds now and then here in Holland, hopefully without crew,cya!
Bomberguy, benn watching your vids here on YouTube for the past 2 1nd 1/2 hours. Excellent stuff you have. For this one, a great tribute and an excellent transition at 1:25, better then most Hollywood films do when they try.
I was wondering if anyone would happen to know what movie or such that clip is from the beginning? I'm having trouble identifying who the actors are or what it's from.
Ive made the airfix kit of this plane so many times. Its a sin that aircraft are left in the desert, there soldiers them selves to effect, Hope miss lace was saved.
Don't get sentimental over nuts & bolts. They are pieces of metal fashioned together in a certain manner...and are nothing without the men that fly them.
Fantastic cinematography, by the way. Perfect blend from the B/W take on the real bomber to the color take on the model. Great production. The best take on a model presentation I have yet seen here on YT. Very well done all around!
has scenes from a great 1946 oscar wining movie, I cant remember movies name, may be someone can help? that was a great scene!! returned pilot goes to see old B-17 scrap yard.
"The Best Years of Our Lives" He was a "soda jerk" before the war and then a Bombadier. While waiting for a flight out of town, he wanders through the scrap yard and get's hired by the company scrapping them.
thanks,that was a really great movie.. still advanced facts to come, I allways remember that bar scene with the young marine without hands playing piano and that guy saying,what a waste! we fought the wrong side! and simbolic pick up of US flag from the floor!!
I can't understand that statement. So many people died in the war, but that plane probably brought home (under tremendous fire) more troops than any other plane ever made. Possibly the best plane ever built.
Awesome, thank you. Two uncles and my dad fought in WW2. One uncle died in Germany. I'm a Vietnam vet. Did the US we fought & bled for die? We're so divided these days. No will to fight anymore except a few & they are dying in Iraq & the Ghan.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO not truw i did a 500 hundred page report on b-17's and thay fly 25 misisson and then the crew get's to go home lie lie it did not do some 83 misisson. you are a desever
Ed, very nice model...the video is one of the best. I remember my Dad traveling to Arizona to see the WW2 graveyard...he flew a B-17 in the war. Sound effects really add to it. I may get back into RC.
Bomberguy this is truly amazing. 5* stuff for me! Please keep an eye out for our film that we are reaching completion on...a documentary footage of the "only intact" submersed B17. Please send a message to me at our channel and keep up the good work, many thanks.
I liked the video of the plane. I had a plastic model of A bit o Lace when I was kid. One suggestion is to slow down the take off and flying sequeences . I think this would add more to the reality of how they flew in real time. Models tend to jump around in the air and slowing the frame rate would help eliminate this. Great video.
Very awesome! The B-17 was an iconic aircraft and your model certainly pays tribute. Im into models myself, but the static display kind.CHeck out my videos to see them on display!
Very nicely done piece; really professional looking, and the modeling is worthy of a static scale plane. The overdub of the real radials staring up is superb - if you could sell model engines that sounded like that, you be rich in no time!
I spoke with you and took numerous pictures of this plane when you flew it at Van Nuys California's Apollo field in 2006, I think you have one of the finest examples of an excellent RC plane anywhere. The detail up close is incredible.
I saw it fly as good as it looks as well, I have pictures of it flying and you taxiing in after landing. This video and its theme are awesome too, nice work.
Jim Rice AMA VP DST 8 was informed of the practice of swooping in 2007 at my now X club but did nothing. He was told 2 times. Gas is for losers and abusers. When you idiots finally kill someone on the runway by swooping overhead maybe youll learn. Way to go JIM RICE- Liar and Coward.
Excellent. Outstanding. Thanks for preserving the memory of one of the greatest aircraft ever built and one who brought back a lot of our guys in one piece.
The Graveyard of B-17 was a sad sight...to all who served and those who past on, my heart thanks with each air I breathe, and my kids breathe. Fly High, to God's Eternal Sky.
Incredible, The better RC; ...Incredible

I can play the guitar...but no way could I even attempt to build a model like that! Stand proud sir, you are at the top of your hobby!

I spoke with you and took numerous pictures of this plane when you flew it at Van Nuys California's Apollo field in 2006, I think you have one of the finest examples of an excellent RC plane anywhere. The detail up close is incredible.
I saw it fly as good as it looks as well, I have pictures of it flying and you taxiing in after landing. This video and its theme are awesome too, nice work.
Just a magnificent plane!!!

Jim Rice AMA VP DST 8 was informed of the practice of swooping in 2007 at my now X club but did nothing. He was told 2 times. Gas is for losers and abusers. When you idiots finally kill someone on the runway by swooping overhead maybe youll learn. Way to go JIM RICE- Liar and Coward.
Dont Join a GAS club ever go electric.

to be honest, the part where the engines start and the plane taxies away looks like a model flying simulator...
if it is, shame on you, if it isn't, nice model!!!

It's the real model. Take a look under the wing, you can see the servo rod to the aileron.

great plane, still prefer the lancaster because it had better engines and could carry twice as much as the b-17

What a great tribute to a gallant old war bird. As well as to those who risked their lives aboard her. So that we may all live in freedom.

Excellent. Outstanding. Thanks for preserving the memory of one of the greatest aircraft ever built and one who brought back a lot of our guys in one piece.

Where to go from here - how to top this. Oh wait: a lancaster would do it nicely.

The Graveyard of B-17 was a sad sight...to all who served and those who past on, my heart thanks with each air I breathe, and my kids breathe. Fly High, to God's Eternal Sky.
