EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Douglas-Long Beach B-17G-95-DL/PB-1W Flying Fortress N7227C, affectionately known as "Texas Raiders," as it gracefully rests on the tarmac at Midland Airport on September 28, 1992. The B-17G is a variant of the iconic Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress bomber, which was produced by Douglas Aircraft Company in Long Beach, California. This specific aircraft, with the manufacturing serial number 32517, has an intriguing history. It was originally transferred to the US Navy straight off the production line, as a PB-1W, with the BuAer number 77235. After its military service, it was acquired by the Confederate Air Force, where it became a cherished addition to their collection. The B-17G is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of aviation engineers during World War II, and continues to inspire awe and admiration among aviation enthusiasts. This photograph, taken from The Tony Lovelock Collection, offers a unique glimpse into the past, capturing the timeless beauty and grace of this legendary aircraft.
