The real story of " The Miracle B-17 "
On February 1 1943 a group of B-17 bombers where once again on a mission over North Africa, their mission was to eliminate all the Afrika Korps forces in the region.
Suddenly a group of Luftwaffe fighters from the II/JG.2 (some witnesses say they were FW-190s, while others say they were Me-109s) suddenly attacked the bomber formation in a steep dive from head-on. One of the B-17 bombers, one of the ten in the formation that day, was extremely lucky to make it back to base .
The Luftwaffe fighter group dove directly into the B-17 formation with all guns blazing away. They came in so fast that it suddenly became obvious that the lead machine was not going to be able to pull out from the dive. Perhaps the Luftwaffe pilot had been hit , for he continued on a collision course until he crashed into Maj. Coulter
