He says his crew picked this plane up from the repair depot because it's nose had been shot off. On September 28, 1944, he saw this plane go down while he was flying with a different crew as a replacement navigator. If you'd like to see his story, you can check out his website: [link] The mission was his 17th. That's the part of the story from his logbook. Click on the "Planes" link and you'll find the rest of the story. Enjoy! http://www.379thbga.org/379th_b26/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?349.post 2010-09-07T02:20:07-07:00 lateralus2 Ryan, do you know how I can get a copy of this photo? I would prefer an electronic version. My dad flew in this plane and I'd like it for his website. Thanks! :) http://www.379thbga.org/379th_b26/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?139 2010-09-07T02:20:07-07:00 Ryan Subject: B-17G 42-107082Date: Tue, 15 Oct 2002 11:52:40 -0400FROM: Col J. A.

It's a small photo so I had to resize it on my computer a few times to read the nose art. Looks to me like "Fightin' Pappy".Thanks to Mark Forlow who sent this photo.

Or maybe someone knows the crewman in the center of this photo?
