I was a ww2 buff when I was a kid with all my model Airplanes.

I got a chance to crawl around a B-17 years ago and was overwhelmed by what the men that flew them must have felt.

Very raw and tight, you can only imagine how loud and cold it must have been flying in one back in the war..

The sounds of those old warbirds will send a shiver down your spine. We have the Yankee Air Museum at Willow run up here in the Metro Detroit area that has several military planes. I was at an air show there a few years and listening to the B-17 was amazing. Listening to the B-25 Mitchell's flying overhead, i could not have imagined the fear that was struck into the hearts of the Chinese when they were flying overhead after Doolittle raid on Toyko.
