        My dad was a B-17 pilot and they were coming back from a mission. They took a detour and flew over. He said it was stunning.

        Great image and shows what a feat of logistics it was to successfully pull off the landings. :)

        They were for protection against low flying / strafing aircraft. The steel cables to the ground would be a problem for the planes.

        Does one truly regret or thank god they weren't alive at this moment of history. Would a man have survived if he were there that day
