INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT YOUR B-17 MODEL

The unique color scheme ofLittle Miss Mischief wasthe result of the combining of parts from two severelydamaged B-17Gs.

On October 15,1944, Miss Mischief took a direct flakhit amidships, nearly slicing the bomber in half. Thepilot, Lt. Paul McDowell, was able to bring thecrippled bomber back to its base at Bassingbourn andlanded it safely.

Already in the Group's "junkyard" was the remainsof another B-17, "Waterloo Mark II", that had made aforced landing two months before. However, the aftportion of this plane had beensalvaged, so theempennage was then attached to the forward portionof Miss Mischief. In all, salvaged parts from 12otherB-17s were used to reconstruct the "new" Little MissMischief, which continued to fly fifteen more combatmissions before losing an engine and crash-landingonce more at Bassingbourn.

Following its second restoration, the bomber wastransferred from the324th BS to the306th BG, in Mav1945.

B-17G 232004, Good Deal, was the last Boeing builtB-17 to be camouflaged at the Seattle, Washington,plant. It wasassigned to the 483rd BG, 815th BS. andoperated out ofTortorolla, Italy.

False Courage is aVega-built B-17G. It's uniqueelement is the BTO (Bombing Through Overcast)radome in place of the standard belly gun turret. Thisfeature, sometimes called "Mickey Radar", permittedprecision bombing through even the most severeweather, which would usually ground the GermanAir Force. It was based atMendelsham, England, in1945, and flew with the 7th BS, 34th BG.
