Country:  | Roy, that first shot is a Martin B-10, not a B-17. Cool shots though.

| Had a feeling it was a Martin model... probably the lads handling that bird cage are also working on a Martin... now it could be that this tv doc was about US bomber development (when aren't they, yawn) and so 30s machines were included. Or it could be a mistake on their part... you fairly often see mistakes like this... like FW190s being shot down in the 'BoB'. | |
