“Flying Fortress” follows the story of retired World War II veteran Mel Jenner. Mel served in the 8th and 9th Air Force as a gunner in A-20 and B-17 bombers. Flying in a bomber during WWII was risky to say the least. 71% of those who flew during the war did not make it back home. After surviving 45 aerial combat missions, Mel returns home and is diagnosed with PTSD. Mel and his family seek faith and community to restore hope and positivity.
