B-17 Hit by flak
"Hang the Expense III" 351st BS,100th BG Hit by flak over Frankfurt,the blast blew the tail gunner,Roy Urich,out of the plane. The rest of the crew learned later that Urich survived unhurt. Years later,other crews reported seeing him flying through the formation still sitting on the tail gunner's bicycle seat and holding the handles to his twin .50's.(rudeerude)

There is one thing that boggles my mind: how did Roy Urich (his name sounds really German, btw) manage to survive such a direct hit??? All my respects to him!
