Ennis Clement Whitehead (September 3, 1895 – October 12, 1964) B-17 The old Man

Boeing B-17F-5-BO Blitz Buggy The Old Man to 30th BS, 19th BG, transferred to 403rd BS, 43rd BG. Salvaged at Clark AB in 1948.

41-24403 "Blitz Buggy" Delivered June 26, l942 and assigned to 30th BS, 19th BG at Mareeba, Australia. Passed on to 65th BS, 43rd BG late 1942 and regularly flown by Lt Glen Lewis and his crew. Sometime during January 1943 the original name was painted over and replaced with a painting of a cheerful Uncle Sam and a new name, The Old Man. The 43rd Group was converting to B-24 Liberators squadron by squadron, and the diminishing band of B-17s was gathered in the 63rd Squadron. The Old Man flew a number of missions with the 63rd during July and August 1943, her last a strike against Wewak on August 18 with Lt William Crawford. General Ennis Whitehead, commander of Advon, Fifth Air Force, acquired The Old Man as a personal transport. General Whitehead's original pilot was Captain John Glyer, a veteran of the 43rd BG, followed by Captain Waldo Schauweker and finally Captain Glenn Ream. The Old Man never returned home, and the last record shows it at Clark Field in July 1948. A Boneyard In The Philippines? - Aero Vintage Books
