Another ebay find

Post by Dan Johnson »

This one was unmarked as a B-17 and almost slipped through the cracks. A bit of research shows it's the 384th BG B17F 42-29723 BK*B, "WOLF PACK", credited with 18 missions before being transferred out.

This is the one I found showing her with 18 mission symbols painted on.

These two are from a 384th BG website showing her in her earlier look prior to combat apparently.

Note no gun installed in the nose glass yet.

This one shows the gun mount for the single 50 in the nose.

I sent this image to the 384th website too, so it's now there with the other two :)
