The B-17 Locator: B-17 Nose Art Panels

There are surviving B-17 nose art panels taken from aircraft about to be scrapped. One, Eager Beaver, came from a B-17 at  the RFC field at Altus, Oklahoma. The others came from the RFC field at Walnut Ridge. The story of the Walnut Ridge nose art panels can be found at this site and it provides some detailed information. Most of the CAF Nose Art Collection is currently displayed at the EAA AirVenture Museum.
