This folder contains a repaint for the A2A WoP2 B-17G in the colors of B-17G-10-VE #42-39996 which arrived at Bassingbourn to join the 91st BG on 14 january 1944. She was assigned to the 332nd BS and after completing a few flights, she received the name 'Boston Bombshell' after the original aircraft carrying that name was brought down near Munster. Tony Stracer painted the nose art, based on Esquire's August centrefold by Varga. On 16 August 1944, on its 47th mission, "Boston Bombshell" was attacked by a group of 25 fighters before reaching the target, Halle. All four engines caught fire and she went down in a blazing inferno. Only two crew members survived, pilot Lt. John Dunlap, and navigator Lt Hubert Carpenter.
Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the paint kit by A2A.
