Maybe next year Mike. Yesterday, my front windshield in the 737 developed multiple cracks at 34000 feet on my way to San Jose, CA. We descended and slowed down fairly quickly, landed uneventfully. Watching the B-17 video looking through, I'm guessing plexiglass, there isn't much protection from birds or flack (from back in the day). I still admire the adversity these crew members went through to accomplish their missions back then.
