Aero Vintage Books

I'm trying to find photos of 41-2433, before or after it returned from the South Pacific. It's one of the B-17s that arrived in Hawaii on 7 December 1941 and had a long and eventful career with the 11th and 5th Bomb Groups.

Here are the final entries from the record card . . . I can't translate these things very well but it looks like it was at Hendricks and Buckingham Fields, then Yuma with the 3036th Army Air Forces Base Unit before being scrapped at Albuquerque.



Any help would be very welcome.

Column on the left is the destination of the aircraft

you end-up with something that looks like
The two STNO numbers are interesting, only seen that combination on aircraft sent to Walnut Ridge -- they did a recount and all there aircraft were given double STNO (Storage Number)

Found a picture taken at HAD, of a combat B-17 -- do not know who this girl is but she was modified with RADAR

Thanks Dave.

I believe that B-17F is 41-24426 - that's based on a process of elimination more than anything else.
