This texture pack represents "Snake Hips," a B-17G-25-BO of the 327th BS, 92nd BG. She flew out of Podington. "Snake Hips" was declared Category E (salvage) after her 59th mission on August 24, 1944. Included in this file is a picture of the real aircraft and the damage sustained by it on that fateful mission. A schrapnel piece of the 88mm shell that exploded in the bomb bay mortally wounded the ball turret gunner, Sgt. Gordon Wescott. This repaint is in honor and respect to him, as well as his crewmates that returned safely.
