Do you need to know something about B-17 bombers or the WASPs? Because I've done nothing but read about them for the past 48 hours! Hopefully I'll be able to whip out some good stories from it.
There's a lot of interesting accounts from B-17 crewmembers on the internet. Every now and then I have the nagging doubt, "what if I should have gone with the B-29? I could have gotten away with a B-52!" But no, I've picked the B-17 for my WWII Flying Dutchman story, and I'd better well stick with it.

A new historical fiction book about a young black girl who grew up flying crop dusters who decides to "pass" as white so that she can become a WASP during the war. Haven't read it myself yet, but it is definitely on my list -- reviews thus far are awesome.

Cool! And sad, considering there was a Chinese-American WASP. (http://www.hazelyinglee.com/)

B-17 all the way! I've actually been on one of those.

If I'd been a little more patient, I could have gone on one (on the ground). But I miscalculated my time and money. >_< I saw it fly, though.

Oh, it was still on the Ground when I was in it, I've never flown in one, but I did get to see it fly, too. It was pretty cool.
