Command BANNED His Crew - Until They Downed 97 Zeros

#b17flyingfortress #pacificwar #old666 When the mechanics looked at the tail number 41-2666, they saw a "cursed" plane that was better off in the scrap heap. It was a B-17E with a reputation for bad luck, parked in a boneyard and stripped for parts. Most pilots wouldn't touch it, but one captain saw something else—a heavy bomber he could turn into a flying battleship. He pulled it from the junk pile, loaded it with nineteen machine guns, and volunteered for a suicide mission that would result in the most decorated air battle in American history. This is the true story of how a crew of "misfits" flew a broken plane into the teeth of the Japanese empire and refused to die. In 1943 over Bougainville, Jay Zeamer and his "Eager Beavers" were tasked with a critical mapping mission that required them to fly solo into enemy territory. When they were intercepted by seventeen Mitsubishi Zeros, the "cursed" bomber didn't just survive—it fought back. For forty-five minutes, Zeamer and his bombardier Joseph Sarnoski traded fire with an entire enemy squadron, proving that a plane is only as good as the men inside it.
