In Reply to: Where can I get a list of B17 at done 25 missions. posted bywayne r porter on October 19, 19104 at 16:13:22:
Wayne,
I can't provide a list, but the first B-17 to complete 25 missions with the crew intact was the famous "Memphis Belle". The first B-17 to complete 25 was the 303rd BG/358th BS "Hell's Angels". Amazingly, according to Freeman in "The Mighty Eight", "not once had it to turn back due to mechanical failure and only one bullet hole and a few FLAK patches bore witness to its hours in hostile skies" Pg 47 &74
Regards,
Hugh
