Y1B-17 wreck?
I had heard of a Y1B wreck somewhere in California.
Does anyone know anything about it - where it it
and why it crashed? Any details?

Find a copy of AIR CLASSICS magazine (Vol. 35, Nr. 9 - October, 1999) and you can read the story of what happened.
Also, if you're interested, you can read the story on the real reason for the crash of the prototype Model 299 (there never was an XB-17). That's in AIR CLASSICS (Vol. 33, Nr. 4 - April, 1997).
And, if you ever believed that stupid story about an early B-17 being tossed around inside a thunderstorm, read the story in AIR CLASSICS (Vol. 34, Nr. 6 - June, 1998) and find out the truth.
But, don't let the fact that I wrote these stories keep you from reading them.
