When two B17s flew piggyback

Lt Glenn Rojohn of the 8th Air Force’s 100th Bomb Group was flying his B-17 Flying Fortress on a raid over Germany. What happened next is a story of bravery and skill that defied the odds. You can read more in Cyndi Rojohn’s excellent book, “The Piggyback Flight Pilot’s Journey“ published by Fulton Books. Also please check out the 100th Bomb Group’s excellent site for more historical references on this and other stories of daring and heroism.
