I’ve still got one more day at EAA, but I couldn’t wait to share these pictures I have of their B-17G Flying Fortress Aluminum Overcast.

This aircraft is particularly special because it was at one point painted in honor of High Life, a 100th Bomb Group aircraft painted with the “The Lady on the Moon” on the nose. Harry Crosby posed in front of the aircraft during a promotion being done by Miller High Life and the Crew of Donald Oaks some years after the war. Crosby is posing with a copy of Flying Fortress by Edward Jablonski open to a picture of himself during WWII.

Standing in front of an aircraft that Harry Crosby stood in front of might not seem all that impressive, and it probably isn’t, but that doesn’t mean this aircraft isn’t historically significant on its own.

I’ve seen this plane before in previous years, but it’s still an absolute delight to see. I am so incredibly happy it was parked in the warbird area this year so that more people could get the chance to see such an incredible part of history.
