I remember with fondness the Texas Raiders B-17 smoking & landing on
two gears (nose and 1 main) after being "damaged" by a Japanese Zero.
They haven't done that in years, perhaps insurance reasons?


That must have been some trick. I've never seen a tail dragger landing on
only the "nose and 1 main").

Yeah, maybe it landed backwards or maybe it was a B-24, -25, etc.
