Flying Fortress Nose Art

Before political correctness, fliers painted their aircraft with the likeness of the female form. B17 crews were no exception, In this clip from the video, "The Fortress and Her Crew" the love affair between man and machine is obvious. flyingbrickvideo.com

The melody was also used for the song 'Time Was', something of a hit in the USA in 1940. It is on Youtube; the original is from Mexico, titled 'Duerme', meaning 'Sleep', and is also available on Youtube. Enjoy!

@damianprice The singer on the Nose Art video - B17, that you enquired about 3 years ago, is AL BOWLLY and the song he sang was called ' DREAMING' :)

One of the veterans in this video had a picture of my father's plane "Stag Party" and his crew.....Is is possible to find out the gentleman that was in the film? I have the same photo. I would love to correspond with him about my father's time over in England. Thanks!

Nice. I am looking for info on planes with "I Dood It" for my Red Skelton page. It would be nice to have video or interview from crew.

Very good editing.
Thanks for keeping the memories of "The Boys" in our minds this Memorial Day Weekend.

Always a personal fave of all the WWII era planes. Heavily fortified for a reason! Quite possibly the best combat aircraft ever built. Best chance to return home of all the bombers.

oooops ! yes, you are correct. I forgot about the Swoose on both accounts. it is a 'survivor' and the only D model. I recently saw some info that seemed to indicate the Swoose may be finally moving after being stored all this time. hopefully this means somebody will put it back together again. cant recall particulars of the deal, but sitting in pieces (like it has) in a warehouse is sure a big waste.

what about "the swoose" isn't the only D left and saw combat? swooze kurtze's fathers plane..

wow! Excellent video. The B17 is definately one of my favorite planes (without a doubt). Any idea who the singer of the song is?

Not really. I recorded it at a B-17 unit reunion.
