Hi…I just signed up. I flew in WW II,as a Flt Engr/Top Turret Gunner, in the 99th BG 348th BS 5th Wing 15th AAF.
I also, was the Parts Procurement Officer for the Comemmorative Air Force, Arizona Wing, B-17 “Sentimental Journey”, for 13 years from 1978-1991.
..as such, I am very familiar with the inner workings of the B-17.
I will be happy to answer any questions on the B-17.
Jules Horowitz, and I, both flew with the 99th BG 348th BS, however, he flew from N.Africa at the beginning and I flew at the end of the war.
