Interesting B-17 photos
Here are a couple of links I thought many of you would find interesting. They show some B-17Es that took part in the first 8th Air Force bombing missions and B-17Fs in North Africa during Operation Torch. Plus there are some Spitfires. The albums contain color and B&W photos, many of which were taken by famed photographer Margaret Bourke-White. She also in a few. If you look closely you will see some other famous faces. Paul Tibbets appears in several of the photos.

Margaret Bourke-White probably holds the distinction of being the only woman to fly a combat mission in the B-17.
