15th AF photos wanted.
Posted: Thu Feb 28, 2019 5:39 pm
For book number 3 (Boeing B-17G-35 through 45 BO’s) missing a whole bunch of photographs for the 15th AF ships.
They are all block 35's ships (42-31932 / 42-32116) and to be missing 33's photo (out of 185 aircraft) is a pretty big hole.
Majority came from the 483rd BG (Project: 90556 R) as new ships when they were assigned overseas in later March 1944. Majority were subsequently taken by the 99th BG in exchange for very well worn B-17F & G’s.
As it can be seen, since a lot of them are sequential sisters, not having these photos, makes a big gap in the coverage.
Hoping to obtain whatever photos are available.
