Update on B-17E 41-2595 "Desert Rat"

Post by aerovin2 »

I had the opportunity to spend some time with Mike Kellner and team members working to restore the B-17E/XC-108A at Marengo, IL. I just posted an update with some photos here:

I had some outdated pages on my aerovintage site on the history and restoration of 41-2595. I just updated those pages too and suggest that anyone wanting more information take a look here too:

One of the added items is the ability to donate directly to the Desert Rat team. I set up a monthly $10 donation from me just to support the cause and assist in creating a revenue stream to keep the restoration going.
