Love that yellow!
I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
Not much point in hoping not to be seen then? Another (very) nice one Baz. Thanks for posting.
thanks Baz, another great photo
Fuddy Duddy, a plane for most of us! Same unit as the B-17 ARES made.
Great picture, Barry!
Love the picture, I bet it must have been something to see a bunch of these flying in formation.
Wonderful picture!
Bit of Lace B-17 is a little less shiny, because of its damaged rudder and elevators during a mission to Kiel on 4th April, suffering serious flak damage in the tail. They may have been replaced with parts of another plane, like the upper part of the left wing.

Gaining a few more MPH and miles of range with bare metal planes. Not quite daring/luring the Luftwaffe up against superior forces,
but the Point Blank directive was clear that the Luftwaffe was to be destroyed on the ground, in the air, and on the production lines.
