AURORA, Ill. -- A World War II "Flying Fortress" bomber crashed and burned in a cornfield southeast of Aurora Municipal Airport Monday, but the seven people on board escaped without serious injury, officials say.

The B-17 took off from the airport at 9:30 a.m. CDT and went down about three or four miles from Aurora about 20 minutes later, according to Elizabeth Isham Cory, a spokeswoman for the Federal Aviation Administration. "We believe the seven people on board escaped without injury."

The pilot made an emergency landing in a cornfield in Oswego after reporting an engine fire, according to Sugar Grove Fire Chief Marty Kunkle. Witnesses said he set the plane down between a tower and a line of trees.
