I am looking for pictures of the B-17G Flying Fortress "Ack Ack Annie" from the 91st BG and the 322nd BS.
The photos are for the son of a bombardier that flew aboard this aircraft in WWII.
Thanks in advance for any help in locating pics of this Fort.
Regards,
Kevin

Coded LG-L S/N 42-32095.
She survived 143(with 31 different pilots!) missions and returned to the states! Only to die in Kingman AZ :cry:

Two books you need to have if like me you had relatives that served in the 91st(or even friends of relatives)are:
"plane names and fancy noses" by Ray Bowden.
The other is a group history: "the ragged irregulars of bassingbourn, the 91st bombardment group in WWII by, Marion Havelar with William Hess.
Must reads :wink: , might not be cheap now but worth it!
The 91st also has a good website check into it.
