I'm sorry to delay yet some more, but real life is a bugger right now. My oldest daughter just lost her first baby. I will do this. I've D/L'd a lot of source material and should be able to give an accurate portrayal of the events of that day. I even found the crew of the "Ye Olde Pub" listed.
Best to all,

All I need is time...
Well, I've been doing some more research; as Nigel's research has shown, there is an error in the markings of the Stigler Bf-109 in the most commonly found paintings. But I have a 1/24th scale balsa model to paint & mark, so have been looking for a way to have those decals made -thought that would be easy in this day & age, I guess not!
Today's search, though, was for the story information. In the course of that, I found this, decals for both aircraft in 1/72nd scale (warning - not suitable for work graphics rotating at top of page). I didn't know if that would help with the B-17 or not. It has the wrong markings for the Bf-109, unless all the builder is worried about is matching the paintings.
I just need time to compose here, & then I'll attache a PDF of the story as best I can put it together.
Best to all,
Tom

Hopefully a visit to Liberty Studios!
Me again. I've started composing but I just got sent to do a test near St. Augustine. I'm going to try to see John Shaw, who met with Stigler and Brown, composed one of the paintings made of the incident, and graciously supplied us with a better picture of Stigler's personal "Apple & snake" emblem.
Hope I can pull it off, but you never know how these things will go.

Popping this thread; I've finally got some time and I'm painting the balsa model. I have the write-up started but not complete. 2 weeks, maybe?!
