Don ... Here's a 15th Air Force photo that reflects the frailness of a tin can thin, aluminum skinned B-17 attacked with 88-mm and 105-mm anti-aircraft ground battery shells. The photo reads: Bomb Run over Budapest, Hungary on July 14, 1944. Five crew members bailed out. The plane crashed in the Budapest area. (The nose section blown off holds the Pilot, Co-Pilot, Bombardier and Navigator.)
