My Father 2nd Lieutenant Maximilian J. Hadley was the 1st pilot of the Anita Marie.
He named the B-17 after my Mother. Does anyone have a picture of the Anita Marie 42-31085. It would mean so much to our family.
Thank you, Maxine (Hadley)Barbian

Hello, my father Sherman Hallowell was one of the original crew with your father. He spoke very highly of your father. I have some pictures of the crew and one of your parents. I will send them to you if you would like.
