"IT NEVER REACHED NEW YORK. Lt Walter J Sebo looks over the remains of the plane that the Nazis said would bomb New York--the HE 177. This air plane had four engines but only two propellers. All four engines were utilized only on take-off or in emergencies which required the additional power. The rest of the time the plane flew on two engines. Scene is somewhere in France."
