Teaser trailer for a documentary coming to theaters and produced by a YouTuber I’ve subscribed to for quite a while.

This documentary includes interviews of ten #B17 crew members.

This was back when Americans fought fascism instead of embracing it.

Ich hab's versucht. Ich habe es wirklich versucht mit dem original am Velo montierten Sattel glΓΌcklich zu werden. Aber mein verwΓΆhntes Hinterteil war anderer Meinung.

Also wird ein neuer #brookssattle #b17 eingefahren. Heute war der erste Ausritt.

Und schon jetzt ist das SitzgefΓΌhl auf diesem #brooks besser als auf dem anderen Sattel.

In 1944 a B-17 on a training flight crashed near Yuma, AZ. All on board were killed. It is possible to go to the crash site and see some of the wreckage. I think a lot has been buried, it's on a steep slope with plenty of loose rock.
