B-17 "Fast Worker II"
 

Hello,

I recently received some original photos of a B-17 called "Fast Worker II". Part of the a/c code was BN. Does anybody know anything about its crew or fate?

Thanks,
Roger

Hello shooshoobaby and ron_Ra,

Thanks a lot for the information. So, I guess the photo must have been taken before 1943.

Do you know if other photos of this B-17 exist somewhere? Would be interesting to compare.

Thanks
Roger
