    Description

    SILENT FORTRESS
    by Randall Scott
    A MOVING TRIBUTE TO THE HEROIC BOMBER CREWS OF THE USAAF
    Far removed from the hostile skies of Europe this Flying Fortress now lies peacefully, its guns silent and quiet forever, in the shallow waters of the Mediterranean where it came to rest so many years ago.
    The men who flew this B17 and who, with countless others, braved the odds to fight for freedom in Europe against the tyranny of Nazi Germany and her Axis allies have never forgotten that fateful day; With smoking engines and badly damaged by enemy fighters and flak, they were forced to ditch their aircraft in these warm shallow seas to await rescue.
    This once mighty warbird now rests silently in its watery grave, a tranquil underwater world so alien to the one that it was created to fight in.
