Skipper - Home at Last
by Robert Taylor
| There is a brief moment of calm as B-17 ‘Skipper’ of the 367th Sqn, 306th Bomb Group returns to base at Thurleigh in East Anglia after another grueling daytime mission over occupied Europe, January 1945. One of the longest-serving Flying Fortresses of the war, ‘Skipper’ completed over 100 combat missions despite suffering from battle damage in late 1944. |
