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

Perhaps you should explain why you tag this as 44-85531? Short answer is that General Enterprises thought they had bought that one, but somebody with the Agency must have checked because already after some 8 months in use the FAA was notified they wanted to change the identity of the aircraft. N207EV was the new registration this aircraft got in March 1979. For all James Bond fans, this was the aircraft used in the film Thunderball from 1965. The Fulton gear was still intact by then. Stig

According to www.roadsideamerica.com/story/2968, the B-17G, named "Lady Lacey" ..., began undergoing a serious restoration effort in 2012, when the nose and cockpit were removed. On August 13, 2014, the rest of the bomber was removed, and the restoration proceeds at the B-17 Alliance Museum in Salem.
