Do you have any other pictures of 42-5734 Seymour Angel?
My great uncle was the BTG on 42-5734. I have some pictures he took during the war of the YB-40. I also have some pictures of him and his crew with a B 17F, tail number not known of said aircraft, in Nov and Dec of 1943 Seymour Angel after the YB-40 program was decommissioned in July of 1943. I would love to get more information on B-17F in the pictures that I have.
