[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Yes,indeed.Big Frank Valesh was the pilot in the 100th bombgroup and my hero till this day.I work on B-17s these days and have since I was a young teenager.I got old before my time hanging out with a bunch of old curmudgeons and now I am one.Just paying it forward.LOL

My dad was in the 493rd. There is a picture of his outfit in Martin Caidin's Flying Forts book.

Not too many Forts left but I understand there is one being rebuilt in Urbana, Ohio and one in Batavia, Ohio.

I used to belong to the Yankee Air Force in Belleville, Michigan before their big fire.

Wish I could be polishing a wing right now!

Where is your favorite Fort?
