In the picture the data block reads B-17G-85-BO. The 85 block ran from 43-38274 to 43-38473. It looks like there is a 3 under the first part of the roman numeral two which would make this 43-38376 of the 423rd bomb squadron 306th bomb group.

The Milk Run Special II is the B17 that I believe my father was a gunner on. If anybody has any info on this plane or its crews, PLEASE contact me. My family would love to know more about our father. He passed early in his life.

My father had pictures of this plane. It was one the B17’s he was assigned to work on as a supercharger mechanic after he was grounded due to bad sinuses.

A good family friend was the Radio officer on this plane. His name was Joe Hathaway. He passed away about 10 years ago.
I have the names of the other crew members as well.
