Found something interesting.

I was given 14 boxes of avaiation books. I've been thumbing through them sometimes reading about a plane or battle. Today I was going through a book on B-17's and one picture cought my eye. I went back and there was a WW 2 shot of "909". I remembered that 909 had crashed at Bradley field a short while ago. The plane made over 140 bombing missions in a row without a miss. A record for the group. I found another book on B-17's that had a picture of 909 in it. I have a lot of books to go through and I may find more pictures of it. I came across another story on the 909 from Collings. They took another B-17 and fixed it up to look like the 909.
