I agree. I'm guessing it was for 'Life' magazine, taken in the UK, and I think that, somewhere buried in one of my books, the same pic may identifiy the unit and location.

"Honey Chile II" is a B-17F-5-BO, s/n 41-24419, 341-st BS., 97-th BG.
BTW this is the former "Virgin Sturgeon". Under the old name the a/c belonged to the 327-th BS., 92-nd BG. Source: NARA ( info via Fold3).



One can find it in the a/c rooster of 97-th BG. by the s/n (page 2), no name though: http://92ndma.org/92nd/92ndB-17AircraftRoster.pdf
