Can our fine group of aviation film historians here help me fill in some of the blanks in the use of B-17’s in the film ,”The War Lover”. I remember reading some where that one of two were scrapped after the filming due to some sort of legal problems ? Can anyone supply the right information here…believe avaition writer Martin Cadin (?) wrote a book about this ? Questions…Questions !!!!!! Thanks !

War Lover
I think one was scrapped Tom – i will have a look later – one of the planes used now flies as Fuddy Duddy i think
have seen some great still images from that movie off the DVD -they look awesome – particularly the end scene with Buzz Rickson limping back over the Channel
