Attn shoppers: Still more trainers

[Chris Brame]

B-17F 41-24625; both Baugher and Osborne list this as based at Geiger Field, and that this was a forced landing at Stewart Field in West Point, NY on July 25, 1943:

That's the first time I've seen a second ADF football mounted in the nose like that; anyone know more?

B-17F trainers 42-30877 and 42-30917 being bounced by a P-40N; '877 is coded "17", appropriately enough, over a previous code; '917 is coded "20" on its nose. '877 later went to Hobbs per Osborne - terveurn, do you have a shot of it there?

Note both have their tailwheels extended. Any guess where this is? Florida?

42-30917 is a new one for the files

42-30877

From the nose number on 42-30917 this style looks like Hendricks

This is the third B-17 from Hendricks coded "17", all three were: 38-270, 42-30917, 42-102865

Also note the colored engine cowlings.
