The B-17 That Didn't Make It #history #war

This B17 Flying Fortress lies off Vis in the Adriatic Sea. Damaged by flak in 1944, the pilot chose to ditch close to shore rather than risk landing the crippled heavy bomber on Vis. That decision saved lives. More than 80 years later, the wreck still tells the story. #B17 #FlyingFortress #WreckDiving #ScubaDiving #TechnicalDiving #WW2History #DeepWreckDiver
