Abstract
While flying from London to Berlin, a passenger “sees” a large formation of B-17 Flying Fortress bombers that were also flying to Berlin 73 years ago that day. Was it only a dream? Or, are formations of World War II bombers still flying, unseen, in an existential dimension, as the locked in time former crewmen look out upon the tranquil skies of today that their sacrifices, in part, helped create?
