Wreckage of a B-17 Flying Fortress (tail number 26089) lies in the Los Angeles River following a failed takeoff from Grand Central Airport in Glendale, California. A matching newspaper clipping headlined 'Flight Cut Short' reports that three of the twelve-man crew were injured and that 1,700 gallons of leaked high-octane fuel posed a fire hazard along the riverbanks - a vivid record of the risks inherent in wartime aircrew training.
