a B-25 bomber coming in on it's last legs...? i once read an amazing account of one of them who made it back from a bombing run with the tail assembly almost blown off and one of the wings in shreds... it more or less crash landed in England...
I've seen pix of B-17's with HUGE chunks taken out of them which flew on hundreds of miles and then actually *landed* - with engines missing, tails cut in half, wings you can see through... Amazingly tough beasts!
