Greetings all, last weekend while flying Liberty Belle @ Augusta, we met a former F/E top turrett veteran who flew 26 missions in "D-Day Dottie" assigned to the 401st BG. He would like to find a photo of the airplane. I've researched my B-17 books, as well as Vallant's '89 edition of "Vintage Aircraft Nose Art", and Gary Velasco's "Fighting Colors". No luck.
I'm sure he would be grateful if a picture could be found. Maybe someone here can locate one.

Thanks,
Bob

Sorry, no photo...but here's a little more info on her:

We are currently not able to say for sure this is a photo of one of our aircraft. We are hoping that the person who flew an aircraft by this name can identify that this is that plane by looking at the Nose Art.

When I did a search for D-Day Dottie on Fold3 this crew came up.
