[Milsurplus] B-17

[KD7JYK DM09]

"There is no indication that the B-17 shattered in flight or suffered 
any kind of fatigue."

True, it was a notion on my part, having seen ground vehicles, under far 
less strain, stress, vibration, and loading, for far less years, 
literally fatigue, and shatter like glass, comparable to someone 
dropping a brick through a plate-glass window on sand, shattered, mostly 
in place, with shards sticking up.  Hence, my comment, "How long can 
something be shaken, before it fatigues, and shatters in flight?"
