While this B-17 didn't see combat, her service history makes her a unique survivor. We then head upstairs with Director of Archives and Collections Keith Cook to check out the museum's remarkable collection of original A-2 flying jackets from the men of the 390th Bomb Group.</p><p><br></p><p>★Be sure to check out the <strong>390th Bomb Group Memorial Museum</strong>'s website at: <a href=\"https://www.390th.org/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.390th.org/</a></p><p><br></p><p>★<strong>Become a Damcasteer</strong> today on Patreon!
