Warbird Information Exchange

I recently acquired a used copy of "The 8th Air Force-Victory and Sacrifice". Tucked inside were some loose photos with captions.

The name on some was Phil Hatcher, Co-Pilot, B-17, 94th BG. I have seen his name in some 8th AF books on the B-17. He or someone added some captions under each.

I am posting them here. I don't know if they have been published before but are interesting. Enjoy!

Some very striking pics. God Bless all those men who flew these birds through that soup.

Thanks for posting them.

I believe #5 is the last in a series of pics of a B-17 getting it's horizontal stab sheared off by a bomb from the aircraft above.
