B-17 in Action

“This remarkable photograph, taken during the Boeing B-17 attack on the Ploieşti oil refineries in Rumania on 15 July 1944, shows bombs falling on the target from the formation flying above this B-17 and flak bursts from anti-aircraft defenses. Smoke from the smoke screen put up by the German mingles with smoke from fires that mark hits on the target”

One of garage goons' grandpa flew in one of those during WW2. Neat picture, isn't it?
