I enjoyed the B-17 News update as always, and by a happy coincidence this shot of one of the B-17Fs used in Passage to Marseille at Victorville just turned up on eBay . . .

Got me a copy of that photo. No sign of Bogie in the cockpit and no guns in the turrets either. No wonder he had troubles

Thread from the dead. Finally recorded this movie and checking it out - cool to see 42-30077, another Hobbs trainer (tail #86). Did Victorville have its own B-17 base unit, or would all the planes have come from elsewhere?
ETA: Looks like a third Hobbs ship - 42-29982 - may be in there as well, towards the end, although the two shots of it were a little blurry even on a big 4K TV.
