The front of B-17 almost detached from its rears as its wings caught on fire, reported Daily Mail. The outlet also indicated the possible death of six people who were on board. According to KTLA, in 2019 a propeller-driven B-17 Flying Fortress bomber with 13 people aboard had crashed at Bradley International Airport, north of Hartford, during an aircraft show. Meanwhile, P-63 is the only USA fighter to begin production and go into combat after the start of World War II, reported Aviation History Online Museum.
