My dad flew several missions as ball turret gunner in this B-17. I tracked down info on it and built an RC model of the bomber. Here is a link to a video of the first flight…

I also tracked down a black and white image of the nose art and a historian for the 95bg over in England helped me with the colors. My model was damaged in a crash caused by a radio problem but I will be rebuilding it this summer.

Hey, I am researching my Grandpas B-17, “Little Joe” with the two dice on the nose. I have photos of my grandpa and the whole flight crew.
My Grandpa was the bomber.
I’d love to compare research.

my friend Don Melton was tail gunner on B 17 little Joe, was wounded several times. I knew none of this until after his death in May of 2012, in Tacoma, Washington. I have no other info.

The pilot for that plane is Ernest Parker. He is still alive and doing well. He has an original oil painting of this plane from Queen Elizabeths royal artist. There is also one hanging at Buckingham Palace. Ernest has a photo of the Little Joe that depicts the nose art if you need one to reference for your model.
