B-17 Crash Pictures from WW2 and Battle Story

The Pistol Packin Mama B-17 and it's Crew

 I have been in touch just this week with Jim Losey a WW2 Air Force buddy who was a belly gunner on a B-17. Their mission was to destroy a German petro refinery and storage tanks deep inside Germany. There were eighteen B-17s in his squadron and they had no American fighter protection because our P-47s could not fly the distance because of limited fuel.
All eighteen B-17 were shot down by German anti-aircraft 88s or German fighters. Jim was the only member of his crew that got his parachute opened and he landed in a German farm field. Jim was hiding in a hay stack when a group of farmers with pitch forks captured him. Life in a German POW camp was miserable and he has shared many of his experiences with me. I know things his wife Chris doesn’t know because he doesn’t talk about them.
