Mary Ann Photo

Post by Dan Johnson »

Came across this on e-bay. It wasn't labeled but I spotted the 10 on the nose and "Mary Ann' sneaking out past the cowling.

What was more interesting in the photo was trusty old 18. Do the cowl flaps make her a D model? Not sure what the marking is on the nose of the one behind 18 either. Note what looks like a two tone camo on it too. And it looks to be the early belly blister on the third one back. Partially modified B?

WOW!! What a great find. That was my all time favorite B-17 movie, watching it as a 10 year old started my love for these beautiful " Beast's". Enjoy , You lucky son of a gun.

"18" is a "D" model.
The plane behind her is a "B" model.

Very timely.
