Miracle in The Air is an adaptation of amazingly true WWII B-17 missions in southwest Italy backed up by historical quotations here: link This is the most extraordinary and important story ever presented for you. Hopefully, you will find the time to read it to the end without delay whether interested in the time period or not. Illustrated by unique photos and our usual personality driven dialogue. Respectfully,

Interesting story. Thanks. Jim (whose father was a WW2 B-17 crew chief and top turret gunner in the 8th AF) |

Hi Jim,
Nice to read your remark. Thank you! QUESTION?
Did your father explain if there was some sort of mechanical, electrical or ___ prevention method to avoid hitting his own B-17?
Thanks,
Bill P.

Pretty sure they had mechanical interrupters since WW1. Electric were available starting in WW2. |
