That is so awesome! I have a question. Is there a company out there that refabricate parts of those Merlin and Allison engines? Or do you have to search the world for certain parts? Unfortunately here in the states they took a lot of those Motors and used them in the hydroplanes boat racing. I'm not ditching on boat racing. I just know back in the day you just couldn't go to a mechanic shop and go get a piston for a for a fighter plane.

I don’t understand why the 8th Air Force “Box” defense formation didn’t work better against the German 109’s?
@Warbirdcoffeeco4 ай бұрын
It depended largely on the ability for the pilots to maintain that close formation. If one was struggling to maintain a tight formation gaps would increase making it easier, also flak knocking down aircraft making the box defence less effective and on the early B-17’s the lack of forward firing .50 Cals meant the Germans knew to attack head on as it could wreak havoc hitting the cockpit area of the Fortress.

Most German aircraft used 20mm with greater lethality and range than American .50 cal. Some even used 30mm against American bombers.

A B-17G comes under attack from a Luftwaffe Bf-110 G-2. The attack commenced from 600 meters with the Bf-110 closing to as little as 30 meters. From the lack of return fire it can sadly be assumed the waist, tail and ball gunners have been wounded or killed. Although the fate of the B-17 is unknown it can be assumed that it didn’t make it back due to the extreme fire taken to the Numbers 1 and 2 engines.
