=B-17: The Plane, the Art, the Flight Conditions, and the War.=

During our trip to the Palm Springs Air Museum, my favorite event was touring the B-17 bomber airplane "Miss Angela." It was very exciting to get the chance to see what it might have been like to fly inside one of those magnificent aircrafts. I think it was also very educational to learn about the technology used. This is the B-17 hanger where we got a chance to go inside the airplane.

The Nose art on the B-17 is named Miss Angela.

Before Going inside the plane, one of the Docents told us a little about what it was like to be in the war and to fight in a B-17.

It was a unique experience just being in the plane because you felt as if you were really a solider in the war. While we were viewing the inside, one of the speakers told us the exact conditions that the soldiers were subjected to and that alone was overwhelming. It's incredible to hear the stories of what happened in those planes and what they had to deal with. I could almost imagine exactly what it was like being inside that plane during the time of the war and what an impact it must've made on those soldiers who lived through it.
