That was my first thought too. Kinda wish we had a warbird 17F in that midwar markings set up.

Cool shot. I also always loved Miami Clipper.

That's Bomb-Boogie all right - 42-5763; LL-F of the 401st BS.

She crashed at Laon, France on 6th Sept 43 after German fighter attacks. Lt. Elwood D. Arp crew (4 evaders, 6 POW. MACR 514).

She was all of 9 months old when she went down ... :shock:
