Experience the B-17 Flying Fortress: A Journey with Liberty Belle

Join us as we reflect on an unforgettable flight aboard the B-17 Flying Fortress, the Liberty Belle, on May 15, 2010. This historic aircraft, manned by a skilled crew of ten, showcases the teamwork and bravery required during its missions. The pilot, co-pilot, bombardier, navigator, and other crew members each played a critical role in flying this incredible machine into battle. My father and I had the opportunity to experience this extraordinary flight, gaining insight into the operations and responsibilities of the crew in the cockpit and throughout the aircraft.
