Boeing B-17 serial 41-24577, named Hell’s Angels, with No 4 engine running at RAF Molesworth after it had been extensively autographed by groundcrew and other personnel in preparation for its return to the USA in January 1944. The name “Hell’s Angels” was adopted by the 303rd BG the same month, ’24577’s legacy continuing with the unit after the historic bomber’s return home.
