摘要：
An historic Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress airplane experienced an in-flight fire and emergency landing. The cause of the fire was a due to a fuel leak in the left wing associated with the failure of a repair in the fuel tank. This paper reviews the nature of the fuel tank repair and the cause of the fuel leak.
