The Real Story of WWII's B- 1. All American"Stricken B- 1. All American” miraculously flying after collision with a German fighter,photographed by the crew of another bomber in her formation. We got this email in our inbox the other day, purporting to tell the story of the Boeing B- 1. Flying Fortress, “All American.” The story, accompanied with some incredible pictures, told of the plane, mortally wounded, getting her crew home safely. We were pretty sure we had seen this email, sent from a friend (who got it from a friend, who got it from a friend, ad infinitum) before at some time in the past, but reading it over, some things about the chain email just didn’t make sense, so we decided to do some research. We’ve decided to reproduce the email, as it’s certainly compelling prose, however it’s fiction.——————————————B- 1.

A mid- air collision on February 1, 1. B- 1. 7 and a German fighter over the Tunis dock area, became the subject of one of the most famous photographs of WWII. An enemy fighter attacking a 9.

Bomb Group formation went out of control, probably with a wounded pilot then continued its crashing descent into the rear of the fuselage of a Flying Fortress named “All American”, piloted by Lt. Kendrick R. Bragg, of the 4. Bomb Squadron. When it struck, the fighter broke apart, but left some pieces in the B- 1. The left horizontal stabilizer of the Fortress and left elevator were completely torn away. The two right engines were out and one on the left had a serious oil pump leak. The vertical fin and the rudder had been damaged, the fuselage had been cut almost completely through, connected only at two small parts of the frame and the radios, electrical and oxygen systems were damaged.

There was also a hole in the top that was over 1. Although the tail actually bounced and swayed in the wind and twisted when the plane turned and all the control cables were severed, except one single elevator cable still worked, and the aircraft still miraculously flew! The tail gunner was trapped because there was no floor connecting the tail to the rest of the plane. The waist and tail gunners used parts of the German fighter and their own parachute harnesses in an attempt to keep the tail from ripping off and the two sides of the fuselage from splitting apart.

While the crew was trying to keep the bomber from coming apart, the pilot continued on his bomb run and released his bombs over the target. When the bomb bay doors were opened, the wind turbulence was so great that it blew one of the waist gunners into the broken tail section. Watch What Goes Up Online IMDB. It took several minutes and four crew members to pass him ropes from parachutes and haul him back into the forward part of the plane. When they tried to do the same for the tail gunner, the tail began flapping so hard that it began to break off. The weight of the gunner was adding some stability to the tail section, so he went back to his position. The turn back toward England had to be very slow to keep the tail from twisting off. They actually covered almost 7.

The bomber was so badly damaged that it was losing altitude and speed and was soon alone in the sky. For a brief time, two more Me- 1. German fighters attacked the All American. Despite the extensive damage, all of the machine gunners were able to respond to these attacks and soon drove off the fighters. The two waist gunners stood up with their heads sticking out through the hole in the top of the fuselage to aim and fire their machine guns.

The tail gunner had to shoot in short bursts because the recoil was actually causing the plane to turn. Allied P- 5. 1 fighters intercepted the “All American” as it crossed over the Channel and took one of the pictures shown. They also radioed to the base describing that the appendage was waving like a fish tail and that the plane would not make it and to send out boats to rescue the crew when they bailed out. The fighters stayed with the Fortress taking hand signals from Lt. Bragg and relaying them to the base.

Lt. Bragg signaled that 5 parachutes and the spare had been “used” so five of the crew could not bail out. He made the decision that if they could not bail out safely, then he would stay with the plane to land it. Two and a half hours after being hit, the aircraft made its final turn to line up with the runway while it was still over 4. It descended into an emergency landing and a normal roll- out on its landing gear. When the ambulance pulled alongside, it was waved off because not a single member of the crew had been injured. No one could believe that the aircraft could still fly in such a condition.

The Fortress sat placidly until the crew all exited through the door in the fuselage and the tail gunner had climbed down a ladder, at which time the entire rear section of the aircraft collapsed. This old bird had done its job and brought the crew home and all in one piece. I love these old war stories especially the ones with a happy ending! Maybe pass this on to someone who will also appreciate this amazing story.——————————————————–Well it is an amazing story, that much is certain. Though in reading it, the damage pictured didn’t seem to align with the damage described, a bombing mission to Tunis in northern Africa, dispatched from England is an impossibility (not to mention having to overfly the entirety of Axis- occupied Europe to do it), and the plane appears to be on the ground in a desert, which to the best of our knowledge, England is most decidedly not. There are several other problems within the story both large and small, but to completely dissect it would take forever and it would time away from the REAL story of the “All American.”The “All American” was actually based near Biskra, Algeria, a much more reasonable +/- 3. Tunis. On the fateful day in question, the All American was part of a formation of bombers attacking the German- controlled seaport.

Braving heavy flak and German fighters on the way in, the “All American” and her crew managed to drop their bombs and were on their way back to base when the German fighter planes began attacking again, pursuing them to the fighters’ maximum return range, when the attacks ended.

Fantasy of Flight - Wikipedia. Fantasy of Flight is an aviation- related attraction in Polk City, Florida, United States that takes visitors back to the pioneering days of early flight, World War I, World War II and beyond. The attraction opened in November 1. It became the new home for much of owner Kermit Weeks' collection of aircraft that were previously housed at the Weeks Air Museum in Tamiami, Florida and were damaged to varying degrees by Hurricane Andrew in 1. On April 6, 2. 01. On January 3. 0, 2. Fantasy of Flight opened a scaled- down museum attraction to display some of their aircraft to the public in the interim while the rest of the facility is upgraded and planned to reopen sometime between 2.

Fantasy of Flight was the only attraction in the world to offer daily aerial demonstrations (weather permitting) of aircraft in its collection. Most of Weeks' aircraft are airworthy and may still be seen flying from one of the facility's grass runways or its seaplane runway. Fantasy of Flight fields more airworthy aircraft than the air forces of Austria, Cuba, Denmark, Kuwait, Portugal or South Africa. Counting fixed- wing aircraft, Fantasy of Flight fields more airworthy fixed- wing aircraft than either the Royal Navy or the Indian Navy.[2]Facility[edit].

General Layout of Fantasy of Flight. The facility features a main building consisting of two large hangars (called "North" and "South") for the aircraft on display, restoration shops, the immersion environments, a gift shop and the Art Deco themed Compass Rose Diner. Just outside the main building across from the entrance is the facility's new ropes course and zip line attraction known as "Wing Walk Air."[3]Outside the hangars there is an adjoining tarmac and two grass runways. On the north side of the runways are a maintenance hangar and conference facility.

A "back lot" to the south of the main complex contains warehouses, storage and restoration facilities. More storage facilities are located across Broadway Blvd and are opened to the public as part of the tour.[4] Lake Agnes is also on the property to allow for seaplane operations, with a designated landing/takeoff area on 1. Aircraft operations[edit]The airfield is officially known as the "Orlampa Inc. Airport" and uses the airport identifier "FA0. The field sits at an estimated elevation of 1. It is designated as private use only and special permission is needed to land there.

The field is generally closed to all non- company traffic. The airfield consists of two turf runways: runway 4/2.

The airfield appears as "Orlampa" on the Jacksonvillesectional chart.[5] The name "Orlampa" was originated by Kermit Weeks based on the airfield being approximately midway between the cities of Orlando and Tampa. Waldo Wright's Flying Service offers airplane rides for sale from the Fantasy of Flight field during parts of the year and operates a Boeing PT- 1. Stearman and a New Standard D- 2. The Boeing Stearman is used for 3. The New Standard D- 2. Collection[edit]The Fantasy of Flight collection contains the following aircraft, although the aircraft are not always present at the museum.

Some are on loan to other facilities, others may be flown to events, still others may be off display for maintenance or restoration. Most of the collection is contained in the north and south hangars which are now closed to the public, with a smaller portion now on display at the interim museum attraction housed in the old maintenance hangar. In 2. 01. 2, the "Golden Hill" storage facility attraction opened just across the road from the main facility. A number of aircraft have been re- located into this new building, notably the B- 2. Dragon and the B- 2. Superfortress nose section, while the buildings were re- arranged in order to allow visitor access, but this section was part of the main facility closure in 2.
