Looks like my driveway (except for the B-17, of course..I wouldn't mind one in my driveway, but I don't think it would fit!)

According to JB website

http://home.att.net/~jbaugher/1943_2.html

Boeing B-17G-100-BO was 43-38983 (381st BG, 533rd BS *Fort Lansing Emancipator*) retired to Kingman, AZ Nov 30, 1945

Wonder if the Great William T. Larkins has a picture of her?

Imagine getting into a B17 that cold and then flying a mission up where its even colder??
Oh yeah, and do it when people are trying very hard to kill you.
Oh yeah, do it about college age.

The English oak trees make a nostalgic backdrop.

Deenethorpe, winter 44-45.
The ground crews mess hall was nearly half a mile behind the photographer.... and almost 2 miles from the furthest dispersal.

All the best,
