On December 20th 1943, the crew of the B-17 known as Ye Olde Pub flew their first combat mission together and almost didn't make it home. Flying on only one fully functional engine, with half a tail, and leaking hydraulics, things looked bleak as Franz Stigler, a German ace, pulled up behind them to finish them off. Instead he made a decision that could have gotten him court martialed and escorted them through the heavily defended coastline.
