Repaint of B-17E 41-9020, formerly "Phyllis" of the 340th BS 97th BG. "Phyllis" started flying missions in 1942 and is known for being photographed with massive tail damage after making it safely back to base. She was later transferred to the 92nd and then the 303rd BG, where she was called "Tugboat Annie" and became their assembly ship and a group "hack." The aircraft was salvaged on 27 July 1945 after an accidental wheels-up landing during a cross country trip from Molesworth to Kingscliffe on 23 July.

There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.
