A North Africa based B17F

Post by Dan Johnson »

Another eBay find. There were two other photos with this one that I didn't get sadly, but this one had the writing on the back and names so I went for it.

Writing on the back says "July 1943 in front of our spy plane N. Africa. Harry Hovee, Les Manbeck, Eugene Raymond & Joe Dunn"

A little digging shows a Eugene Raymond with the 16th recon squadron. They had 17s in the Med in 43 so I imagine this bird belonged to them.
