I read somewhere in a forum last week about this B-17 Flying Fortress which was incredably damaged during a bombing run.

Charlie Brown was the B-17 Flying Fortress pilot with the 379th Bomber Group at Kimbolton, England. His B-17 was called 'Ye Old Pub' and as in a terrible state, having been hit by flak and fighters. The compass was damaged and they were flying deeper over enemy territory instead of heading home to Kimbolton.

I thought how this could be someone next project in the flight sim forums ..

Some links for more imformation.
