My grampa flew 52 missions and he had a ton of stories about coming home on 3 or 2 engines, even 1. He said landing on 1 outboard engine was the hardest thing ever. He said "we had a landing gear being cranked down because we couldn't belly land, only one gear went down and they wouldn't go back up. We had only engine 4 running and no flaps, it was my 42 mission. We survived and lived another day to save the world"
I believe this is the actor Kevin McCarthy starred in (50s sci/fi. Movie the invasion of the body snatchers) and actually severd n the Army air corp as a fully qualified pilot I was totally engrossed watching this good stuff

Dunno where you found this, or digitized it from, but this is a relic of history and should be immortalized better than a YT upload. JMO.
Thanks.
I'll never have a B-17 but now I know how to fly it
This is whatvi needed to fly A2A's simulation of the B17 for FSX and P3D flight simulators.

The instructor is Arthur Kennedy. He made these training films while serving in U.S. Army Air Forces during WW II.
Sadly I don't have a B17
But I will watch this video to the end
Me too 😊
Always make sure your B-17 is in tip top shape before the Luftwaffe blasts it to pieces
