…No doubt still very young at heart though!!

I did a bit of digging on the web managed to track down the pilot of the B.17, John Gooch still very much alive..(or he was three years ago).
He recalls the incident very clearly, in his words…’I remember to this day gasoline from those engine prime lines spraying me in the face when I returned to the cockpit. Whew thanks be to God that we all got out’

An amazing guy!
