The Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress was America’s first four-engine all-metal heavy bomber. It was produced in 1938-1968.
The Bell P-63 Kingcobra is an American single-engine fighter aircraft produced by the American airline Bell Aircraft, developed at the beginning of World War II.
Remember that in Tanzania, a passenger plane fell into a lake. There were 53 people on board, four of whom were crew members. At least 19 people are known to have been rescued.
It was earlier reported that a Latam airline passenger plane, en route from Chile to Paraguay, was hit by a severe thunderstorm, losing its front fuselage and engine.
