That’s an excellent picture. B-17E over Europe? What a way to go through a war. Don’t those kids know that they are too young to do that? Fat and happy at 88? Good for him!

They were shot down on this mission over Weisbaden 8/15/44 and spent several months in Stalag III. Was liberated by Geo S Patton himself whose son in law was a POW there...

I believe that’s a B-17G in Tubebender’s picture. The E model did not have a chin turret.
