B52 look "just like" B17 bombers...

According to the Daily Mail today, "WW-2" B-52 bombers looked just like B-17 bombers as they flew back in English skies from an exercise over Norway.

Well, yes, if one ignored the size, swept-back wings, method of propulsion, absence of propellers, number of engines and a few more items, yes, almost identical.

I like how A320s and B737s get mixed up in newspaper reporting pics.

They both have wheels, wings, fly and drop bombs. That's close enough for the Fail.
