B-17 Pistol Packin' Mama Crew
Just as many crews would paint nose art on their assigned aircraft, so did some Army Air Force members also decorate their leather flight jackets. Pictured are three crew members of the B-17 "Pistol Packin' Mama". The jackets are adorned with their B-17, bombs representing each mission flown, and swastikas notating Luftwaffe aircraft shot down.
The "Pistol Packin' Mama" was a member of the 390th Bomb Group, 13th Combat Wing, Third Air Division, 8th USAAF, based in Framlingham, England. This photograph was taken on January 10, 1944. Picture Credit: USAF.
