Guest scott fletcher Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 During 64 perilous World War II combat missions over Europe, the Liberty Belle survived the hellfire of German flak and a calamitous night in which six of the nine bombers in its squadron were destroyed. But in sunny, clear and peaceful skies above Chicago’s western suburbs Monday morning, a working replica of the B-17 bomber caught fire shortly after take off from Aurora Municipal Airport. http://www.suntimes.com/photos/galleries/5936097-417/world-war-ii-bomber-plane-lands-in-flames-in-cornfield-near-oswego.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest scott fletcher Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 A World War II "Flying Fortress" bomber that burned after making an emergency landing in a cornfield this morning had undergone maintenance over the weekend, but investigators say they aren't sure why the B-17 developed problems. http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/news/local/chibrknews-crews-responding-to-incident-involving-wwii-bomber-20110613,0,5339638.story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
