Impossible Situations

[Udet]

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"

What! You must be looking at your computer screenthrough a telescope! Look at the photo, I moved the damage next to the guy in the picture so you could get a better idea how big those holes really are!

Now if you want to see big holes.......

look!! that man could practically fit his head through the hole!!

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 !

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

you mean submarines that fly or submarines that launch planes??

 

[FLYBOYJ]

I've seen a drawing of that somewhere, reminds me of something from Captain Scarlet.

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

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Yes you are correct the picture side6 was from a rocket and All American actually flew home and then the tail fell off after it landed!
