Is the B-17 in the first shot the one that eventually went to Dover?
Also, is that the B-36 they currently have or the early one that was scrapped and ended up with Soplata (sp)?
Likewise the C-124.
Super SB photos, they ought to be seen more since most of us have only ever seen her in the dark museum.
When I was stationed at W-P I went to the museum every Saturday...spent hours looking at her and the B-17.

C. Veich: I agree. I like it when a museum notes that a plane was flown in. Dick got some shots of Bockscar at DM as well. This also was flown to the museum, in 1961. No in-flight shots of that, sorry!
