Agree. Cool article

What got me is how the B-17 was not really of a great airplane.
Yeah, it was durable, because of the large areas of the wing and tail.
But was it more *surviable" than its contemporaries?
Look at todays A-10. What a remarkable aircraft - it's an airplane built around a tank, basically. The B-17 was not that, LOL.
