B-17 44-6976 / Flak Dodger Details
Foto zeigt vermutlich nicht die B-17 #44-6976 Flak Dodger. Eine andere B-17 mit dem Namen Flak Dodger aus der 92. Bombergruppe ist jedoch nicht bekannt. Weitere Infos in den Kommentaren unten.

If the photo of Crew 113 (Dexter’s) shown above was taken 23 June 1944 at Podington, the date it arrived in Podington cannot have been 1/2/45? Maybe a different Flak Dodger; there were a few I believe, or a typo which should read 1/2/44?

Thank you! You are right. Maybe this “Flak Dodger” is not #44-6976. Podington 1/2/45 should be correct, because other B-17s in same production-block arrived UK early 1945. But no other B-17 of the 92nd Bomb Group was called “Flak Dodger”. That’s a mistery.
