Identity of UK-bound Fortress at Dorval
Am trying to confirm the identity of a B-17E/Fortress IIA filmed at Dorval around May 1942 while on delivery to the UK. The Paramount News segment in which the Fortress appears is called 'Ferry Command Rushes Bombers to Britain" and it occurs at the 30:24 mark. The mostly-readable USAAC serial/radio call number on the tail is 1251? Candidates are 12514, 12515 and 12517.
There is a film listed on the IWM site that appears to be a similar or perhaps identical scene in reel two of "Atlantic Ferry": https://film.iwmcollections.org.uk/record/5422 Wondering if anyone has either film and/or can confirm the USAAC serial number. Thanks in advance, Robert Stitt Last edited by robstitt; 7th February 2023 at 23:37.
