B-17G Flying Fortress 'Miss Donna Mae II' after it drifted under another bomber on a bomb run over Berlin, 19 May 1944. A 1,000 lb bomb tore the left horizontal stabilizer off and sent the plane into an uncontrollable spin, trapping the crew inside. The stress from the spin tore the wings off at about 13,000 feet; all 11 KIA
May they all rest in peace.
I remember another incident like this one captured in vid where the bomber gets its right wing torned off, sending it down.
Gives me the chills each time I see that vid.
