Another B-17 movie - "Seven Were Saved" (1947)

Post by Chris Brame »

Found this on YouTube, apparently public domain:

B-17 action is near the beginning and (mostly) the end, featuring film I've seen before of 42-102588 doing lifeboat drops - either this is stock footage, or this movie is where the stock footage came from. Also some good shots of ASR OA-10s and C-47s. Any guesses on the filming location?

Two B-17s show up earlier; this one has an armed chin turret and nose art MICKY:

The other has the chin radar:

42-102588 is a missing B-17.

No card, no history, she has all the makings of a Pacific based ship, but nothing conclusive
