My Dad James C. Sager was the Navigator on the Hemingway crew of the 18th BS. I am trying to find a photo of each B-17 that the Hemingway crew flew. 43-38433 was the B-17 they flew the 2nd most times – 8. (The flew 43-38304 14 times.) I’ve been unable to locate a photo of 43-38433, so I’d like to ask if anyone has such a photo. Bouldin was the pilot who flew 43-38433 the most times. If anyone knows anything about 43-38433, and especially if anyone has a photo of this B-17, please contact me — either through the b17flyingfortress.de website or my email: brusager@gmail.com. Thank you.
