On the wrong end of a B-17 attack
 
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be on the ground during a raid by a group of B-17's?


On November 2, 1942 Werner Mork was sitting in his supply truck in Tobruk harbor waiting to take on a load of supplies being unloaded from the ships docked there.


Suddenly the harbor erupted into an inferno of explosions, fire and shrapnel.


Mr. Mork has given us a striking account of what it was like to survive such an attack and the gruesome aftermath.
