WOW - B-17

[Weasel]

If you look at the picture it says "somewhere over North Africa", I would put the error on the writer, not the B17. I am sure that if they were bombing Italy or Tunis or whatever they would have bailed out, but because base was so close, in NA, that they figured they would try. BTW - the P51B was available in 42 but it was a dog.

Here is a better site with actual after action report:
