The takeoff roll, tail wheel up

The takeoff roll, tail wheel up
The B-17 lumbers -- that's the right word -- down the runway in Zanesville. Bombers were dump trucks compared to fighter planes' sports cars. Climbing at 300 feet per minute, the B-17 would typically cross the German border at 25,000 feet.
