My personal favourite B-17 of the war. Rotherhithes Revenge, (because it’s my neck of the woods). A bomber of the 381st Bomb group. The plane completed over 100 missions. And was one of four paid for out of £800k raised by the people of Bermondsey and Southwark. The other......
three being called, Bermondsey Battler, London Avenger and Bermondsey Special. The Rotherhithes Revenge ended her days in a US scrapyard. Sadly Bermondsey Battler was shot down with the loss of her entire crew.
