B-17 "ye olde pub" was flown by Charlie brown, and then spared by BF-109 Ace Franz Stigler Because it badly damaged, this incident was one of the iconic event in WW2 history. A german pilot able to spared a stricken B-17 (Also inspired by Yarnhub video). My apology if theres any Historical Inaccuracies (Apart from the dummies because it comes from the B-17 Build itself). the B-17 are from TiFosiF
"From down below an enemy spotted
So hurry up, rearm and refuel
But through the bomber’s damaged airframe
See wounded men, scared to their bone
Look to the right and then look again
And see the enemy in the eye
No bullets fly, spared by his mercy
Escorted out, out of harms way
Fly, fighting fair, it’s the code of the air
Brothers, heroes, foes
Killing machine
Honour in the skies
B17
Flying home
Killing machine
Said goodbye to the cross he deserved
He risked his life two times that day
To save an unknown enemy
Escort to safety, out of the killzone
A short salute, then departed" -Convoslayer
