    my son has a WW2 plane book and there is a story about a B17 that was half-way blown up and still managed to fly home. I can't remember the name of the plane but that is the one I will want to build. anyway, sorry for the hijack and good luck on the build!

    I had a bit of a hunt around, as you piqued my interest, came across some stuff on a B-17 "Miss Irish" that was nearly cut in two by flak, but managed to continue on, could be the one?
