northcoastaero Posted April 23, 2016 Share #2 Posted April 23, 2016 The following are results from some research: -VB-17G Flying Fortress 44-83547. At one time at Kadena Okinawa. Transferred to RoCAF then possibly shot down by PLA MiG-17 6/23/1956. -B-24D The Squaw 41-11761. 98th BG, 343rd BS. Ploesti raid veteran. Nose art may also have been Sleepy. -B-29 #26. T on the tail. 73rd BW, 498th BG based on Saipan from April 1945. The 26 may be the last digits in the acft. serial number? http://www.utdallas.edu/library/specialcollections/hac/cataam/Leeker/aircraft/b17.pdf http://cgibin.rcn.com/jeremy.k/cgi-bin/gzUsafSearch.pl?target=&content=B-17G Hope this helps.
