My dad John H. “Jack” Stiles was a bombardier on a B 17. I have a photo with the plane – on the nose it has “2417”
He was in England and flew from there. I don’t think this is the correct plane – can you tell me how to find it?

Sacramento Air Depot is (SAD).
The AC meaning of salvaged is a terminal condition.
do you mean recommended for salvage, but repaired ?
