36thIDAlex Posted August 2, 2019 Share #1 Posted August 2, 2019 Just got this back from my buddy to finish off my AAF impression, and in time for Conneaut too. Thought you all might like a look. Ive never posted jn the reenacting section on here but I felt this deserves it. Based on the B-24H “Big Noise From Kentucky” of the 718th BS, 449 BG. She performed 26 combat missions over Southern Europe, shooting down 6 German fighters before being shot down herself over the Ploesti Oil Fields. Her first pilot was Lt. Fletcher S. Porter of Georgetown, KY. He was KIA over Italy a few months before she was shot down. He named the plane when the squadron was commissioned and the name was kept by the crew after he was killed in his honor. This jacket is to be dedicated to Porter and the crew of “Big Noise.” Porter’s grave back here in Kentucky and original photos of the plane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
