I had a neighbor when I lived near Boston who flew B-17s to deliver the
goods in Europe. He did a year at GA Tech then joined up, they sent him
to flight school then stuck him in the left seat in England and off he
went. He flew toward the end, but it was hairy enough according to some
of his stories. He did have some good experiences when the end of the
war was announced, seemed many young ladies had considerable gratitude
for what the Yank flyboys had done for Old Blighty.... The guy was
afraid to get on a 2 step ladder but never had a problem in the plane.

I used to help out at a local aviation museum here. We were restoring an
old Lanc. I remember reading the performance figures at the time back
then, but can't remember them now. I do remember there was quite a
difference in performance with a full load, and empty. Deliver the cargo,
and then hightail it home. Pretty slow target on the way to work though,
as I remember. Must have taken some guts to strap in to one of those old
birds!!

Speaking of.
I was "flying" a B-52 on the computer simulator the other day.
And I'm curious - what is the cruising speed? With 100%
"throttle" I never seemed to be able to get above about 300
knots at 25,000 ft flying level. Does that seem about right?
Or is FlighGear clueless. :)
