Here is a link to the story about the B-17 that flew back to it's base with the nose blown off. I've seen the first photo hundreds of times but never the last two.

That is a fantastic story, also great photos. Thank you for sharing that with all of us. It's hard to believe that only one crew member lost his life in such a terrible incident! It's also a fine testament to all B-17's that it made it home.
