Do sad these amazing planes that survived over 100 combat missions couldn’t survive the scrappers.

My grandfather flew 34 missions in the fever beaver, his flying jacket is still at Thorpe Abbotts Air force base. I agree it’s a shame it wasn’t kept! Especially give the amount of missions.

Hi Kim, I just found out my adopted grandpa, Jim Roberts, was a RWG on Fever Beaver for a while. I’m building a 3D printed RC B17 and this came up during research. Same with finding this post. Nice to see a connection. https://100thbg.com/personnel/?personnel_id=4407
