    Solo Pilot B17

    This can be done and in 1981 a Bolivian Pilot single handedly brought a Weary Meat Hauler B17 from La Paz Bolivia to March AFB Museum – Riverside California – that is some Airmanship considering the distance – he then turned around and flew back a swapper – C54 back to Bolivia .

    My vet freind who was waist gunner on the Boeing Belle – 100th BG said Memphis Belle was “Too much Hollywood ” – I guess that says it all , great visuals and music though

    Marinell – Artists impression

    Got round to doing it – I like painting Mustangs and Metal more and more !
    I guess Marinell was shot down in June / July 44 ? So maybe she wouldn’t ave seen the winter of 44-45

    Bolivian B17’s + Paul Allen’s B17E

    Any news on how the restoration of Paul Allen’s B17 E is going on up in Arlington Washington State USA ? – I read he was having it re skinned to correct OR Improve on work done by the Whittington Bros

    Some speculation about what color scheme he will adopt when its done ?

    Yankee Doodle ?

    Thanks Ron

    Fuddy Duddy

    Rumor has it that Fuddy Duddy (B-17G 44-83563) has been sold and will soon be based at John Wayne Airport in Southern California. For those of us on the west coast lets hope it is true!
