If you are a WWII history buff, you really should take the 1/2 hour ,or so, it will take to read the Flight log below. I found it to time well spent. After more than 30 years of study, it gave me the closest idea of what it must've been like to be flying bombing missions over Europe in 1943. It starts out a little slow, but stick with it. You'll be glad you did.

The link is to a .pdf, not a web page. You can save it to your computer and read it when you have the time.

B-17 Flight Log (5 Sept 1943 - 21 Feb 1944)

To see the photos correctly, right click on it and click "rotate Clockwise." You'll need to repeat that 3 more times to get the written pages back to the correct orientation.
