eBay: Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress

[SaparotRob]

Wow! Not only has my childhood crush survived but she is at the Planes of Fame Museum in Chino, California! I have to drag my wife there after we can get our vaccinations. I wonder if it was there when I visited back in '86? How did I miss it? Possibly, when I saw the Zero with the original engine, I forgot to look at anything else.

There were several "Knockout Dropper"s. Numbers are Group and Squadron and "no" & "yes" were whether or not there was a photo of the aircraft at time of book publication.

It looks as if the Fortress has a 40mm in the nose.
