When This B 17’s Third Engine Caught Fire — This Crew Feathered It With Bare Hands In 4 Minutes

August 9, 1944. A B-17 bomber over Ploesti catches fire at 23,000 feet. The feathering mechanism fails. The crew faces an impossible choice: abandon the aircraft or attempt the unthinkable. Technical Sergeant Arthur Bennett climbed onto the burning wing in -30°F temperatures, crawling 20 feet across slippery aluminum while 170 mph winds tried to rip him off. With flames three feet away and the propeller spinning at 800 RPM, he had one job: manually feather the propeller blades using only his bare hands. One mistake meant death. For him. For all ten crew members. This is the true story of four minutes that defied every safety protocol, four minutes of third-degree burns and oxygen deprivation, four minutes that saved Liberty's Last from becoming another statistic over Romania. Real WWII heroism. No Hollywood exaggeration needed.
