@viherdemokraatti.bsky.socialAll aviation history buffs need to check this article on WWII B-17 Flying Fortresses in Sweden. The lucky (neutral) Swedes even got nine interned B-17's transferred to them and they were converted to civilian Saab F-17 "Felix" passenger planes. Awesome. #B-17 #FlyingFortress #AviationHistory #WWII 🇸🇪

What’s your takeaway from this incredible story? #GimliGlider #AviationHistory #AviationStories #PilotSkills
