    Amazing snap shot of a B-17G from 412BS, 95BG after receiving some battle damage over Hannover on 28 March 1945 and is listed as making a safety landing at Achiet, France on its return flight. With Achiet being Carl's home base at the time, we can see the records are very accurate! Stig

    This is a B-17G 43-38067 which came to 412BS 95BG as QW-E. in Aug 1944.
    The Guys look fresh so maybe taken shortly after its arrival.
