I have never been to an airshow before and it was neat seeing some of the old World War II planes on display. There are two photographs of the old B17, the Flying Fortress, shown below.

We probably owe a good part or possibly all of our freedom to this plane. I’m glad I was not around for this fierce fight though. My previous post honors the brave veterans who flew on this plane. Sadly, their numbers are dwindling fast.

The plane pictured above is a beautiful plane and it is in working condition. I saw this B17 take off, taxi, and land. Earlier in the week it was flying around the skies of Madison and this “bird in flight” could be seen from the ground.

There are YouTube videos on the subject of WWII. Here, for example, is a moving video. See the related links to find more videos on WWII.
