I am interested to the history of the B-17 Flying Fortress since 2000 and doing research since 2017. It's still my hobby beside my full time job. I want to be accurate as possible with the information in my videos. However, if you find any mistakes or have additional information, please correct me and let me know :)

Thank you for reminding us of these brave men.
Even only 1 min 9 secs stories are worth while.
I wish I could tell you more. But I couldn't find any more interesting information.
I also didn't want to drag out the video unnecessarily with uninteresting information.
Where did you get that map? That map puts into prospective how many planes got shot down
The map is my own work. But still in progress. I guess, approx. 2000 B-17 are not on the map yet. You can find the map on my web site: b17flyingfortress.de/en/map-b17-crash-sites/
@@B17FlyingFortress I just checked it out, that is amazing work!
