Found Friday - Patches Two

This is "Patches 2" a B17 assembly ship. This photo is from the biggest "find" of 2008. In a Wichita Falls flea market mall I found a book of 205 35mm negatives all taken duing the winter of 1944 in the south of England. This is a rather rare photograph. I have been able to find only four other photographs of this ship, TWO HERE (Recent) and TWO HERE (Vintage). This aircraft that flew 61 missions before being retired and painted to work as an assembly ship. All in all, I am beginning to think of this book of negatives as a significant discovery, certainly acutely nostalgic if not stunningly historical.
