Representing a B-17 that saw intensive action in the last years of WW2, both in bombing and later POW liberation missions. It operated with the 561st Bomb Squadron (T), 388th Bomb Group (H) from RAF Knettishall in England. The actual aircraft here, B-17G 44-83512, was always based in North America, in the US and Newfoundland, and ended up as a ground instructional airframe at Lackland AFB. True identity in small print on the bottom of the tail, as is often the case with historic displays.
