Sentimental Journey,the 1944 Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress leaving Lexington Tn.The B-17 had a reputation for being able to absorb horrendous punishment and keep flying; sometimes with severe gashes in their fuselages, or large sections of their wings and tails missing, and many times with only two or three of its engines operating.The B-17 has starred in many a movie: "Command Decision," " Twelve O'clock High," two "Memphis Bell" movies, "Bomber Command," and others.
