Flying Fortress « The Pink Lady » - a photo on Flickriver

            This B-17G-85-VE, S/N 44-8846, "The Pink Lady," was manufactured at the Lockheed-Vega assembly plant in Burbank, California, in December, 1944. On March 1, 1945, 44-8846 was flown to RAF Polebrook, England, and assigned to the 511th Bomb Squadron, 351st Bomb Group.

Since 44-8846 entered active service very close to the end of World War II, it only flew six missions over Germany, the last one being on April 20, 1945, when the 351st ended combat operations. She was then transferred to the 365th Bomb Squadron, 305th Bomb Group, based at RAF Chelveston, England, when the rest of the 351st returned to the United States.
