OK...I know weve all heard stories of a wounded B-17 being rode down by its captain, the pilot trying to keep her steady long enough for (almost) everybody to get out, and Im aware the bombardier is in control of the plane while operating the bomb computer on its run...but for normal operating conditions, how many men (minimum) does it take to fly a B-17? I am aware that theres a separate radio operator, and a navigator, and a flight engineer...but can one pilot hold his own on this bird? (I am not a pilot, so excuse my ignorance...)
