The REAL Reason This FRANKENSTEIN BOMBER Was BANNED

Описание: #b17flyingfortress #aviationhistory #ww2

The B-17 "Old 666" was a cursed "coffin with wings" that every sane pilot refused to fly—until Captain Jay Zeamer turned it into the most illegally heavily armed bomber of the war. Command and engineers hated his unauthorized "Frankenstein" modifications, especially the 19 machine guns he bolted to the airframe and the fixed cannon he fired from the pilot's seat. But when Zeamer and his crew were ambushed by a swarm of 17 Japanese Zeros on a solo mission, his "junk" plane didn't just survive—it fought back. This is the true story of the "Eager Beavers" and the longest solo dogfight in history.
