Post by Chris Brame »

Same seller; both shots taken at Bismarck, ND 1944-45.
Row of Forts featuring Rapid City's 42-102754:

Another with no cheek guns; 42-97098 (per Baugher) was earmarked for the RAF as HB761 but was transferred to the USAAF; lost with 388th BG, 561st BS Aug 6, 1944. MACR 7705. Osborne gives its name as Fortress Nine:

42-97098 was Little Donna.

She was modded by BAD to Cheyenne standard after being returned in May 44, but like a lot of ex-RAF Fortress B.III returned, her cheek positions were reversed
