Shoo Shoo Shoo Baby and Thunderbird

Thu Jun 14, 2007 6:27 am

Did you know that?

- B-17 F-BGSH "shoo shoo shoo Baby" was written of in 1961
- B-17 F-BEEC "thunderbird" was wrecked in 1962 at Creil his nose was changed with Shoo Shoo Shoo Baby's nose (very probably)
- In 1969 Shoo shoo Shoo Baby was given to you, she had the bad nose of F-BEEC and we (you're french friends :lol: ) given to you the nose of the B-17 F-BEED...

Thunderbird probably have Shoo Shoo Shoo Baby's nose, and Shoo Shoo Shoo Baby have the F-BEED nose...

Did you know that :?: :?:

Even in France it is very hard of credit of good information on the career of the B-17 Frenchmen, I me even pointed out this detail by cutting again the various dates of accident and collection of active service, furthermore what they know not much at you it is that the B-17 Frenchmen have Salvaged summers in the dates no that you know, all were carefully kept not salvaged but in long-term stocking...

A little link to know more about them:
French IGN Fortresses

Most of this pages are translated, I hope (I have a bad memory and a worst English).... :?
