Many of the same folks that designed the B-17 were still at work with the 52 was designed. Durability: B17, B52, C47/DC3. 123 240D There is some comfort too in flying plane older than you are, or driving a car that was on the road before you were born. Tends to combat massive egos by reminding you that there were things before you and other things besides you, and things will be, after you are long gone too. Kinda like Old Man River.
