B 17 "Snake Hips" was shot to hell on the starboard side, but still made it home. Color video

  1. I have photos of this plane in my father's war memories. He has passed and never discussed it except that he had been hit and had to parachute before his plane went down. How can I find out the names of the other service men that were aboard this plane. My father was a navigator and I would love to know if this is his story

    1. get in touch with the national WW2 Museums, B-17 museums, etc... they will know where to get that information. My dad won't talk about his time in the war either. You can also just try googling his name, the Snake Hips, and when you find the serial number of it, google that too. There is a lot of info that can be found with enough time spent on a computer
