Jack,
What a great find! The amount of flyable and intact axis aircraft is very noteworthy. Hopefully all WIX members will find the time to review this film clip. At the end, General Krueger is shown with his VB-17G in the background. Available records suggest this is 44-83547, which remained active until at least 1957.
