My grandfather, Melvin Roscoe VanGundy was a co-pilot on “the little colonel” – B-17 42-31359. Does anyone have a picture of this B-17? Let me know please, Thanks!

Hello Ramsay,
As luck would have it, I came across this post and I have a photo of Little Colonel. If you have an e-mail address, I would be more than happy to send it to you. Best regards.
