Great catch Sig. They come to Boca Raton, FL each year. Some local old timers show up to explain what it was like back then. Last year there were 6 guys, this year only 3 left. Dana P
The glory days of flying!! Love it.
Super capture of the G and venerable Liberator, my dad served in WWII in the Pacific and saw a lot of Liberators. He missed the short window of the B-17 service in the Pacific Theater. Most impressive shot!!!
I'm working on a model of the B-17 right now. I've looked at several of the photos of 909. This one has some interesting things like a black propellor hub on the starboard inboard and an odd open bin on the back of the turtledeck behind the upper gun turret. The way the tail turret straps and the upper turret straps look like they have no thickness makes me laugh. No need to press too hard in that area on modelling with either UV maps or cutout and change material as a part. I haven't done any of the aircraft used in WW-II bombing of Germany to avoid hard feelings of my German viewers. This is a change and may not appear in this gallery.
