On February 3, 1943, while on a routine ferrying flight from Great Falls, Montana to Ephrata, Washington, a massive B-17 Flying Fortress tangled with an unexpected blizzard. The Blizzard won. Dubbed the Fairfield Fortress, the bomber crashed its way into the lives of its flight crew, a farm family, and a small wheat farming town. The Night A Fortress Fell To Fairfield relives that cold stormy night and the memories that have survived. This true story was just a tiny incident within a nation at war, but left an enduring mark on all involved.
