Re: A couple more stateside 17s
Top one is important - she is an Avon Park ship.
Interesting that Osborn does not have her at Avon (but at Walla Walla / Redmond which is 88th BG later trans to Avon Park)
Wonder how that worked, when it is wearing the same codes as 42-5800 (also A-K3) that crashed on 18 May 1944.
