Good afternoon to all!

 

This photo just came in. It was in a huge grouping of photos to a member of the 13st AAA. The 13st was part of the 7th Corps during WWII & saw much service overseas.

 

My question is...does anyone have the service record of "Just Once More"? Some internet searching didn't turn up much, other than speculation that this bomber was a 'lead' aircraft during a mission. I also believe the nose art survives to this day & was restored while in the custody of a Texas museum.

 

I also couldn't find any period photos of this B-17. Are there any others out there? I look forward to your replies.

This Vega-built B-17G was assigned to the 333rd Bomb Squadron, 94th Bomb Group on 2-22-45, returned to the US 1-8-46. Hope this helps, Mark

Mark-

 

That does help. Thanks!

 

Let's hope someone can dig up its mission history...
