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?

Oh yeah, and do it when people are trying very hard to kill you.

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.
