Kitsworld - 1/72 Boeing Flying Fortress B -17G
£10.20
KW172174 Boeing Flying Fortress B -17G 'Homesick Angel 42-107135 - 'Madam Shoo Shoo' 43-37786
Boeing Flying Fortress B- 17G 'Homesick Angel' XA-N 42-107135 549 BS, 385 BG.
Assigned to 549th squadron on 24th April 1944, "Homesick Angel" was named by Robert Milligan who described the plane as "... easy to handle and a dream to fly -- like a good woman!" Anne Haywood's first painting showed a more scantily clad figure which higher authority order to be covered.
This was an all too common cry with many nose art paintings which were deemed to have been inappropriate. "Cover up or clean off!" was the order of the day. Anne painted the crew's jackets with this design which, enlarged to full size on the side of the B17G, proved to be a colourful image not easily missed.
Flak shot out two engines on 15th August 1944 over Munster. Attempting to reach the North Sea, pilot Lt Rosener was forced to ditch prematurely into the Zuider Zee. The crew scrambled into their dingies and were picked up by Dutch fishermen -- but later had to be handed over to a German patrol boat. A replacement Fort at Great Ashfield was named as "Angel's Sister".
Nose art painted by Anne Haywood.

Boeing Flying Fortress B- 17G 'Madam Shoo Shoo' XA-Z 43-37786 HR-Z 551 BS, 385th BG.
Madam Shoo Shoo 43-37786 551BS 385BG
Clark Rollins' crew requested this stunning piece of work portraying "Madam Shoo Shoo". The life-sized figure showed Haywood's talent at its best and there is a rare piece of cine footage showing Anne actually painting the artwork.
Arriving at Great Ashfield in mid June 1944, the aircraft suffered severe damage in November but survived and continued until hostilities ceased. By which time it successfully completed 76 combat missions and had been flown by more than 30 different crews.
It was flown back to Bradley Field, USA, a year after arrival in England and was scrapped at Kingman Field, Arizona at the end of 1945.
