Spectacular view of "WOLFF PACK's" damaged vertical stabilizer. Regensberg - 17 Aug 1943. The pilot, Bob Wolff, feared the impact had destroyed the aircraft. For the remainder of the flight both vertical and directional control was limited. He reported extensive buffeting in the rudder pedals and the control yoke. His offer to the crew to bail out if desired found no takers. Wolff was considered one of the 418th best aviators. Detailed Information (100th Photo Archives)

Landing in North Africa after Regenberg - 17 Aug 1943 (100th Photo Archives)

B-17s of 96th Bomb Group refueling in North Africa after Regensberg - 17 Aug 1943. These are early F variants, considered by many as the most beautiful of the series. Beauty is as beauty does however, and the familiar 'Chin Turret' of the G variant provided a much greater weigh of fire. (100th Photo Archives)
