B-17F of the 91st Bomb Group – Nose Art repainted Details

This picture shows a B-17F at the 91st Bomb Group. It is noticeable that the nose art has been painted over. This indicates that this B-17F already had a name and only recently reached the 91st Bomb Group. Note the Astro Compass Bubble on top of the nose.

The original image description says the following:

Mechanics of the 322nd Bomb Squadron, 9lst Bomb Group, overhaul a Boeing B-17 „Flying Fortress“ at a base in Bassingbourne, England. 2 October 1943.
