Found picture B-17F-50-DL
42-3346 that my friends dad was assigned to. The “A” of 91st BG has been subdued & a white “H” has been added below the s/n on the tail. I believe he told me they were assigned to weather recon & VIP transport 1944 – 1945. Pic shows no name on nose, prop hub on number 1 looks like it may be red or dark blue. Inboard number 2 hub natural aluminum. Could be a few new cowl flaps on number 1 also.

My grandfather was a tail gunner on a B-17 named the Tuff Titty. I have found two going by that name and was just wondering if anyone on here had any information that might help me determine which one he was assigned to. He has long since passed away and the information that I have from him was the name of the aircraft, and that he was in North Africa, Tunisia to be exact, and Italy.
