I have an idea that Alan Dix may have been on the B-17? Name rings a bell...
The Weston pic is truly awesome; I saw it long before I read about the circumstances.
And how about that other great "ouch" photo? Lewis Benjamin in a Super Tiger poised vertically about 2ft off the ground after flicking in to a spin during a crazy flying routine... both flew again.
A documentary or a book of airshow memories and photos is a splendid idea. Lecomber has written a couple of good articles on the subject...
