Incorrect Photo

Please replace the photograph of the B-17 in which Lt. Jack Mathis supposedly died, because it shows the wrong airplane. Mathis died aboard Boeing B-17F "The Duchess" (S/N 41-24561), not the later B-17G "Duchess' Daughter"(S/N 42-97272). Both flew with the 359th Bombardment Squadron, 303rd Bombardment Group.

These two airplanes shared the identifying code BN-T, which may have contributed to this mix-up. The latter airplane was named in honor of the former and carried the same individual-aircraft identifier ("T") in combination with the 359th squadron code ("BN").

I'm sure a web search will turn up a good photo of the actual airplane. It would have been camouflaged olive drab with gray undersides and would not have had a chin turret. Almost all Eighth Air Force imagery lies in the public domain, of course. Textpilot22 (talk) 18:13, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
