  • View attachment 559024View attachment 559025View attachment 559026Assigned to 449BS, 322BG, 9AF USAAF. During the course of its service life of 207 missions, with bombing runs over France, Belgium, Netherlands and Germany, it was perforated with over 1000 holes, twice returned with only one engine operating, once with an engine on fire and twice with the complete loss of its electrical and hydraulic systems. Having survived the war in Europe, Flak Bait was selected to be returned to the US. On 18-Mar-46, Major John Egan and Captain Norman Schloesser flew Flak-Bait one last time, to an air depot at Oberpfaffenhofen in Bavaria to be broken down to component parts and shipped in crates back home. Currently being restored at the Steven F.

I've been very fortunate volunteering at Smithsonian Air & Space and have been involved in the restoration and preservation of Flak Bait.

Flak Bait restoration/preservation among other projects has taken a significant hit by Covid. The museum has been closed for quite a while to visitors and volunteers, and staff has been working on limited basis within the museum. Not sure when it will be completed. The rudder and one of the engines with nacelle were completed and on the museum floor displayed near the Enola Gay.
