Why is it that i find the photo of the B-17 with the entire nose/cockpit section torn apart (nearly reaching the upper defensive turret section!)suspicious...

Yes, I have seen many shots of B-17s with terrible damage making it back to base; all i could tell, provided this particular photo is authentic, there is nothing impossible there for the plane has been turned into an express elevator to hell: going down.

It's real and been published in numerous books. I remember seeing it back in 1974. According to the caption in one of the books I recall seeing it in it stated it continued to fly for a few moments and then as you say "turned into an express elevator"

The only holes youll find bigger than that B-17's damage are the holes in the French frontline!

i just saw a documentary that mentioned plans for flying russian subs. It was a WWII experiment that never bore fruit. That's what I call an impossible idea !

One more of those small holes and the Lanc would have crashed.

This is Battle Damage and they all returned home too.

side6 jhpg is from a rocket Br 21cm fired from a Bf 110G-2

All American had a collision with a Luftwafffe fighter's wing.........buzz saw.

the B-17 sure could take a ton of punishment and make it back
