It was posted here a few months ago. I'd love to get a copy of it for my gameroom but not sure who has it. Jack was it you?

Chris,

Was the photo in front of a Mustang? The title got cut off.

I know this isn't the one you mean, but here is a game at Fairmont Army Air Field, Nebraska.

It was a bunch of guys plating football with a B-17 behind them. I hope I can find it. It's a great pic

I have a great shot with B-17s in the background. Might have posted it here a while back.

I got my copy from NARA/AFHRA WWII US Air Force Photos archive via Footnote.com.

Search for image number 71653AC.

All the best,

If you want it in colo(u)r, wasn't there a game played in front of the aircraft in the 89 version of Memphis Belle?
