Amazing history! War can show the worst and the best of people.
I always liked the B-17, was for sure the best plane in WW2, and a tough one for sure.
Here a few images to illustrate this amazing history:

They are good friends now
By the way, this plaque sinthesizes another history of bravery to save an enemy
