Description
This is a depiction of the B-17 Flying Fortress, one of the most successful bomber aircraft of World War 2. This group is in the middle of a bombing run, and are being attacked by German fighters. This is the part of the mission where the B-17 is the most vulnerable. They can't turn to avoid the fighters as this would change the areas that the bombs will land. The formation is also encountering aerial flak which will damage or destroy an aircraft if it hits it.
