Holy shit, that's some holey shit.

A bomber that is certainly holier than thou. The holes are the result of splinters from an anti-aircraft rocket that exploded next to this Handley Page Halifax Mark II over Central Europe during WWII. Remarkably she was able to make it back to base in Italy.

  1. I follow this guy's channel - he's a jet tech rebuilding jet engines. Every now and again he'll take a walk through someones old warbird collection. Every time I see all the complicated hardware in even the early birds, I can't help but think of the crews scrambling to patch up the mess the flak and bullets left behind.
