This was amazing. My Dad was top turret/flight engineer in the 728th. He flew in the HAIRLESS JOE.. I had a chance to fly in a B17, also sitting where he would have been on the plane. Was absolutely amazing. Watching this video is like almost being there as he was. Thank you for posting.
Thank you for sharing, it was interesting to see something local to me through the eyes of someone who had travelled so far.with some new information

Well done Tim. Caught a glimpse of my birthplace, south of airfield. Unfortunate that nothing has been preserved.
Thank you so much! My father in law was stationed here and flew a B17 in WWII.
Kathy Roush you’re welcome.
