Story behind film footage of B-17 crash
Hello One & All,
I am wondering if anyone knows the background behind an historical piece of film footage that shows the crash of a Boeing B-17, which appears to have suffered catastrophic damage (the nose section was destroyed along with a large portion of the port wing) prior to tumbling out of the air and exploding on the ground. The footage appears to have been filmed from the ground. The footage is close-up and follows the B-17 during it's plunge to the ground. I first saw the footage in the 1980s and had never seen it again until yesterday. I've attached some screen grabs from the footage. I am wondering when the crash occurred, the identity of the aircraft, and the circumstances of the crash. Cheers Rod Last edited by RodM; 25th February 2014 at 21:53.
