Agreed Rob, most like the B17 crew had no idea and then it was over for them.
In one of the shots the falling B17 just missed another warbird taxing on the runway.
This was a photo I found on Twitter. It’s just so surreal. The red squares are just autofocus points. It reminds me of a scene from the movie Memphis Bell when the one B17 gets sliced in half. Except sadly we know this isn’t a movie.
