	The picture of the bomb shearing off the horizontal stabilizer
is just one of a series which ends as the plane goes down.  the picture
can be found in several Time Life books on WWII.

	An even more impressive and common photo shows a B17 returning
to England after a mid air.  There is a long gash almost shearing off
the vertical stabilizer.  The plane did make it.
