Hello Papi,
This is a very interesting thread. The links that Pete posted are fascinating.
Here are two photos from my father's USAAF album. He was assigned to the
652nd Bomb Squadron (H) of the Eighth Air Force. They were probably taken
on one of the bases in the Alconbury England area ca 1944-45.
My father (on the left) told me this was a weather plane which is consistent with the
nose art. The aircraft appears to be an early B-17G with the chin turret removed.
This appears to be a different aircraft although the nose art is similar.
Regards,
John
