Article about post-war B-17s

Post by Bingelis »

Not sure if everyone's seen this, but here's a nice article about post-war B-17s in the USAF. Good side view photo of one of the DB-17s from "12 O'Clock High," the movie.

Thanks for posting that. I spent a bit of time with Fred Johnsen at Oshkosh. He has a forthcoming book on drones that will contain a lot of information on the QB-17 drones used from 1946 until 1959.

That photo of the 12 O’clock High airplane is the first time I’ve seen that view.
