B-17 at Pearl Harbor
What was the correct AAF serial number of the B-17C blown in half at Pearl Harbor, Oahu, Hawaii, on December 7, 1941?
Who was the crew of this airplane? The pilot and the dead crewmember are always identified, but the rest of the crew never is. Who were they?
Any help appreciated.
