When I was 21 years old, I was not flying B-17's on bombing missions over Germany.

Man, those guys were tuff, all of them. They saved the world.

Showing the plane flying level for a while after the tail was separated, is pretty far fetched, as the front would have gone into an instant nosedive. Just watch the crash of the Texas Raiders B17, for real life proof.

Yeah the AI illustrators probably had little to no knowledge of airplanes.

I believe the story to be basically true.

It's crazy what those guys went through on the ground, sea and air.

A stewardess also survived a plane crash (mid air explosion and 33,000 feet fall)
