See the wreckage of a B17 Bomber at Calvi, on the island of Corsica. The B17 wreck is North from the Calvi citadel, at the foot of a small green lighthouse.

The B17 American Bomber was used during WWII (1941+). It was also named the “Flying Fortress”, protected by 13 machine guns!

In 1944, the B17 G “Baron” was on a mission in Italy. Unfortunately, german fighters hit the Baron. Without his radio, the pilot Frank Chaplick, decided to fly to Calvi (Corsica, France).
The landing strip was too short, so he decided to land on sea.

Wreck size:
- length: 23m
- wingspan: 32m
