    Seems Keeler and his crew were in on the Operation Frantic (shuttle missions by 8th and 15th AF England/Italy - Russia and back again) Since Keeler was assigned to 8th AF units their mission must have made them go back via Italy. 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.

    43-38140 was assigned to 832BS 486BG (also 8th AF) and it seems either Keeler (or his entire crew) was transferred to this unit almost immediately after arrival, since he states "Our airplane". Could have been temporary of course....
