Re: Nose Art Name of B17 124388 ?

I am replying to this thread several months later because I just joined.
My father was the copilot on that b-17 that got shot up and had to land in gibralter. there is an interesting account of this in the book Flying fortresses by Jablonski. My father was wounded, gave up his seat to dolittle. they almost went into the drink when attacked off the coast transporting all the vip's to the gibralter conference with no guns.
i would love to see a copy of that photo. any chance of that?
