Random Ramblings: Aerial Wildland Firefighting

I have blogged about aerial wildland firefighting since 2009. I am not a firefighter and am not a pilot, just an interested bystander who wants to learn more and share what I learn here. Join me here as I blog on the aircraft and the pilots who fight wildland fires from the air in support of crews on the ground. I also blog on concerns affecting fire crews on the ground as well as other aviation and meteorology issues. Learn what it takes to do jobs that are staffed by the best of the best.

B-17 in WW II - stories in pictures and video

I am profoundly moved by the accounts of the crews of the B-17 (and the B-24) during WW II. Words escape me. But one picture or video is worth a thousand words, so I offer two videos. Thanks to Airboyd TV for the fist video on the 12th Airforce, and thanks to FuntimeSteve for the second video, B-17 8th Airforce Tribute,
