Excellent B-17 Website

Thanks Milton. Wonderful sight on the Fortress. Seeing that the hapless Bears aren't playing today,...this will fill the void.
 
RE: Name of reporter who coined the name "Flying Fortress"

Just learned something from the link on the B-17. Over the years I've read about 'some' local reporter who gave the name "Flying Fortress' to the B-17. But I never came across his name. It's revealed to be a Richard Williams for the Seattle Times.
Here's a belated one to you Richard::ernae:
 
Hmmmm, one has to wonder why the uber talented Mr. Shupe is poking around in a B-17 website.:d
 
Hobbs, huh? I was there once (1978) on a Trans Texas Convair. I was returning from Carlsbad (Caverns) and the flight stopped at Hobbs and Clovis, before taking me to Albuquerque.

Well, now that I know you reside at Hobbs, I'll wave to you on my semi-annual jaunts between KDFW and KTUS. :wavey:
