| Hi<br/> <br/> I'm a passionate of WWII airforce history and an enthoudiast of flight sims and movies. I would like to receive any information available about the plane Maiden USA and how after a bombing run it was forced to head towards the eastern front and land behind russian lines near Kuflevo. That B17 was nearly shot down by a russian La5 and i would like to know more details about what happened that day.<br/> <br/> If i can assemble enough information i would like to make a small movie about it using footage from a flight sim. If any of you is interested in the subject please visit the following website and forum, you can download there a lot of movies made to honor the sacrifice made by so many brave men.<br/> <br/> Yours truly<br/>

| The book noted is: Portrait of a Flying Lady, by George H. Menzel, Turner Publishing Co., 412 Broadway,  PO Box 3101, Padukah, Ky, 42002-3101, ISBN: 156311-136-5, LOC 94-60145  phone (502) 443-0121.<br/> <br/> I can't tell you if it's out of print or not, but if so may be available through on-line book stores or military book stores like abebooks.com.<br/> <br/> The book is mostly 1st-hand 401BG Unit history related, but has a special (and rather large) section about this little known history - 401BG aircrews landing in Russia - their story.<br/> <br/> Great book in my opinion - both parts.  <br/> <br/>
