One of our Bombs is Missing

from Plane Tales

A B17 crew training before deploying to Europe during WW2 managed to put a little town in Oklahoma on the map but not in the way they might like! The M38A2 100lb practice bomb was no small device when dropped from a few thousand feet! How the centre of Boise City might have looked on the night it was bombed! The B17 Flying Fortress.
