Summary

Description
English: Gleaming in the warm sunlight, B-17G 44-8020 was the lead aircraft for the 49th Bombardment Squadron from 23 July 1944 until VE-Day. Seen dropping 500-lb RDX bombs just weeks after its arrival in the MTO. the aircraft had its radar 'dustbin' extended, although the lack of cloud on this particuiar day would surely have meant that the bombardiers attacked using their Norden sights.
