Summary

[edit]
Description
English: 38th Reconnaissance Squadron Boeing B-17C Fortress 40-2070 was caught on approach to Hickam Field, Hawaii on 7 December 1941 by strafing Japanese Fighters, who left it burned out on the Tarmac. The bomber's flare storage box had been struck by rounds fired by the Japanese fighters as the Fortress approached Hickam. The pilot managed to land the burning B-17 which broke in half upon hitting the runway and came to rest just short of the Hale Makai barracks. All of the crewmen but one survived the landing.
