Re: Operation Aphrodite

Brian - several accounts of B - 17s and 24s gliding back to England after being abandoned.
In book Aphrodite that you ordered , there is an account of a B - 17 that
went out of control over Ipswich and circled . They finally were able to gain control and blow it up over the North Sea.
B-17 #239827 assigned to Aphrodite
