Aero Vintage Books

Thank you. It does appear that through the reflections, it does have the camouflage scheme.

Thank you. I still need to find out if it had the same camouflage scheme as "Peggy D," since they both were early 8th AF arrivals.

Does anyone have any early photos of B-17E S/N 41-9085? She was known as Lil' Butch or Jarrin' Jenny. I am looking for photos of her either as she arrived in England, or just before she was salvaged. One late photo shows her with an -F Model nose I want to know if she was in the same camouflage sche...

My book arrived, and it is great. I am very happy with the information, details, and photos.

How do I order it?

You can find a paper copy at B-17AIRDEPOT.COM, or e-mail b17airdep@aol.com

Contact Mike Banta and the 91st BG Ring. If you can't locate them, just send me an e-mail @ B17AIRDEPO@aol.com

A good reference would be Al Lloyd's book; B-17 Flying Fortress, Detail In Scale Vol 11, Pt2, Derivatives. It has great SB-17 info, including a shot of Nine-O-Nine, as an SB-17. 44-85746 was also featured in two Hubbell art prints. If you are in the Portland area, I will be happy to show them to you...

We have now received our first control yoke back from having it re-coated. You can see it on our web site; B-17AIRDEPOT.COM Don

Let me know about the pilots seats. We are looking for 2 for our cockpit. Don @ AIR DEPOT

I sent you a print for the pilot's armor plate, is it the one you need?

Notice the window lock actually in use on the co-pilot's sliding window. I have some in stock, but this is the first photo of them in actual use on an AAF B-17,[ I have a photo of Texas Raider's "909"'s cockpits, with the lock in place on the pilot's slider]. Don
