With two of his four engines out of commission, Capt. Jerry Osadnick is nursing his badly wounded B-17 back from a bombing run on a Messerschmitt factory in Augsburg, Germany, April 13, 1944. As they approached the Dover cliffs, two P-47's of the 375th FG appeared, and escorted them in. As they landed the plane, the #3 propeller fell off on the ground!!
