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.  It was there, it is there, 
and it will be there.  Enjoy it but respect it, or it will kill you.
