B-17 "Flying Fortress" pilots in WWII had to complete 25 missions before being sent home.

Not to be a "nit" but a Stratofortress is a B-52 "BUFF", the B-17 was a Flying Fortress. The B-29 was a Superfortress.

Thanks everyone for the comments. My father was stationed at McDill AAF base in Tampa during the war. He was the flight surgeon who checked out all the guys heading overseas to make sure they were mentally fit for the job. He was a psychoanalyst. The first one in Oregon when we moved to Portland in 1952. I still have his uniform and the records of the pilots he examined. He saved everything, including his acceptance papers when he volunteered for service. Not sure what to do with them.

Nice shots except for the prop freeze!
700mm hand held. If I had shot slow enough to have a prop blur, you wouldn't have been able to read what was on their helmets.
Probably would be easy for someone to do in PS, if it was worth doing.
