Stunning A-2:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WWII-Hand-Pai ... true&rt=nc
This has got to be one of the finest, documented A-2 that I've seen on Ebay in a while. 'Wee Willie', a B-17G-15-BO (serial - 42-31333, coded LG-W) from the 322nd BS, 91st BG. The most famous group in the 8th.
The date was April 8th, 1945 and 'Wee Willie', the oldest operational aircraft in the 91st with over 120 missions, took a direct hit from radar-guided flak. The images of her loss are the pretty well recognized as the most dramatic/sombre of the air war.
