Liberty Belle B17 destroyed in fire
17th June 2011
Unfortunately, on the 13th June 2011 an engine fire caused B17 "Liberty Belle" to make a forced landing in a field near Aurora - Chicago. Whilst the crew were able to walk away from a relativly undamaged aircraft, the fire trucks were unable to get across the soft field, and the aircraft subsequently burnt out, seemingly beyond repair. a sad day for this wonderful aircraft.
