My father was a bombardier flying in a B-17 marked 2462. His records show missions nly in Europe. I have a picture of the crew in front of this plane, with this marking. Does anyone know how I can find out about this plane? It doesn’t seem to match the description of the same # posted here.

I too have a picture like you have described. my wife’s great was a pilot of a B-17 in Europe. we have a picture with him and his crew and the plane has 2462 on the nose. Does your picture happen to have a chalkboard with 6373 written on it? The pilots name was Fred Deiters.
