B-17G "Daddy's Delight"

[von hahn]

Hello everyone,
I'm looking for any photos or information on the 303rd BG B-17G 42-97944 "Daddy's Delight". I've done a google search and have found a few good photos but was wondering if anybody has any "little known" or hard to find info or photos on this aircraft?

Thanks so much!

Do you have the 303rd Combat Missions book? A few photos there

 

[von hahn]

No, I dont have the mission book. My only sources have been Google and the very very good 303rd BG website.

I'll send it to you if you want. Couple thousand pages long I believe

fubar57, is there a way you could send me that also? My father-in-law was a crew on that B-17, but mostly was assigned to Lucille. Thank you in advance. -Fred

Done. PM sent

Thank you. I have some of these, but did not have the entire mission report. I really appreciate you taking the time. Thank you again.

Daddy's Delight was the name of the plane my grandpa flew in, my mom has been cleaning out her basement, and we're finding a bunch of his photos, and personal effects. I may have some pictures you'd be interested in.

 

[fubar57]

We would be very interested

My phone camera is not great, what is the best way to digitize the photos?
