Solihull Boy Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Flew over our house ten minutes ago, definitely a B-17. Flew off towards the west over Ladybower and Howden moors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drummonds Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 The B-17 has four engines though, and the OP said that the plane that they had spotted had 2. certainly what passed over here was a b17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair to the Americans one of the Allies was fighting one of the Axis for a couple of years before we declared war on Germany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
