Re: 5th Air Force B-17E Armed Transport
Thanks to fellow forum member ozhawk40 I now have confirmation that Pretty Baby was 41-2665.
A few comments about the two planes on Col's list that didn’t display nose numbers . . . 41-24358 was stripped back to bare metal and I think served as a “VIP” transport, but so far I haven’t found exactly who it was assigned to. The other B-17F, 41-24381, carried the nickname Well Goddam and was reportedly assigned to General Paul Wurtsmith as his personal transport.  I'm still hoping to confirm the serial number of the transport B-17E named Caroline. I also need to find out if 41-2432 was still carrying the name The Last Straw, and if 41-2662 was still named Spawn of Hell.
