From England to bomb some in Germany and then ending up in Algeria is well beyond the range of a B17 iirc.


The B17 had a range of ~2000 miles with a 6000lb bomb load.

I just looked up distances. It’s only about 483 miles from London to Zurich and then about 785 miles from Zurich to Algiers, Algeria. So you can definitely hit Germany and land in Algeria.
