In 1943, a stunt involving 4 B-17's Flying Fortresses occurred during a public event in NY City. This stunt angered Mayor Laguardia such that he complained in the press that the pilots should be disciplined. The pilots were reprimanded and fined $75. What was this event and where in NYC did it occur?

I believe it was the same guy who recorded the song...but the name escapes me right now.

The company that made the first motorized lawn mower is still in business. It no longer makes anything but ****.
Information can be found on the net.

So I was right!

Was there ever a 5 engine B-17 ???

I seem to recall seeing a picture once of a B17 flying test bed with a nose mounted engine, perhaps an early turbo prop being tested?

Barry Sadler.

Correct. I believe He was a Sargent at the time but don't know how he ended up.
