Reports are coming in that the Collings Foundation World War II B-17G bomber crashed into a building at the Bradley International Airport. Three people were injured.
“The B-17 and B-24 were the backbone of the Allied bomber campaign against Nazi occupied Europe. Army Air Forces crews flew the bombers from bases in England and Italy. The bombers also were used the Pacific theater.”
This is the same plane that was in Beverly last month for the “Wings of Freedom” tour. My husband usually goes to the see the vintage planes every year and many of us love hearing the distinctive rumble of their engines overhead in the summertime.
