Forum Was Down; Now it is Up
Sorry for the service interruption for two days there. It appears to be back up and running now after some file conflicts. I am in the process of slowly revamping the main Aero Vintage website and this is part of the travails and tribulations.

Doesn’t look like a crash landing. Looks like fueling or maintenance incident.

top turret / O2 fire.
Find it interesting that all B-17's pretty much burn the same way -- gasoline gets trapped in the trailing edge of the wings and once that goes-up, there is only one way to put it out (well two, the other is just to let it burn).
The recommended WWII procedure for a wing fire is to chop a hole in the trailing edge, and shove the nozzle into the wing and fill it with foam.
