I’ve been a WWII student most of my life. And built detailed WWII aircraft models for years. (I have dragged my poor wife to museums across the country. Even weaseled my way into the Smithsonia restoration facility.) But I digress. In thousands of photos I have viewed I have seen pics of aircraft that I was dumbfounded by the fact they made it home. My favorite being a B-17G that took an 88 hit in the rear fuselage and was only held together by the lower main spar.
