I remember the first time I was ever inside a B-17. I was struck with two immediate observations

1. How incredibly small it was inside
2. How completely exposed and unprotected the crew members were from attack.

It must have taken some
BALLS to fly missions in those aircraft.

If you want to learn some interesting B-17 trivia, research the German Dornier DO 200
program. Most interesting.
