*Sometimes, it's not really just luck.*



Elmer Bendiner was a navigator in a B-17 during WW II. He tells this

story of a World War II bombing run over Kassel, Germany, and the

unexpected result of a direct hit on their gas tanks.



"Our B-17, the Tondelayo, was barraged by flak from Nazi antiaircraft

guns. That was typical, but on this particular occasion our gas tanks

were hit. Later, as I reflected on the miracle of a 20 millimeter

shell piercing the fuel tank without touching off an explosion, our

pilot, Bohn Fawkes, told me it was more complicated.



"On the morning following the raid, Bohn asked our crew chief for that

shell as a souvenir of unbelievable luck. The crew chief told Bohn

that, in addition to that shell, another 11 were found in the gas

tanks. Eleven unexploded shells where only one was sufficient to blast

us out of the sky. It was as if the sea had parted for us. A

near-miracle, I thought. Even after 35 years, this awesome event

leaves me shaken, especially after I heard the rest of the story from

Bohn.



"He was told that the shells were sent to the armorers to be defused.

The armorers told him that Intelligence had picked them up. They

couldn't say why at the time, but Bohn eventually sought out the

answer.



"Apparently when the armorers opened each of those shells, they found

no explosive charge. They were clean as a whistle and just as

harmless. Empty? Not all of them! One contained a carefully rolled

piece of paper with a scrawled message in Czech. The Intelligence

people scoured our base for a man who could read Czech. Eventually

they found one to decipher the note. It was amazing!

Translated, the note read:



*"This is all we can do for you now."*
