This B-17 was nicknamed „The Green Parrott“ after the original pilot Horace Parrott and co-pilot Ernest Green.

Is there anywhere to find any images of this plane? Many of my grandfather’s pictures and documents have been lost over time.

I may be able to help. I’m connected to Ernie Green’s family.

My family member, Walter E Liddle was Bombardier on this plane when it went down 24 Mar 1945. I would love to see a picture of the plane.
