42-3506 Sir Baboon McGoon
Returning from a mission to RAF Bassingbourne, Sir Baboon McGoon ran out of fuel, possibly due to ruptured fuel lines. It made a belly landing in a sugar beet field in Suffolk. Its recovery was featured in the June 1944 issue of Popular Science magazine. As a testament to the legendary toughness of the B-17, once it was jacked up onto its own landing gears, and some mobile repairs done to the engines and propellers, it was able to fly on its own back to a maintenance depot for more extensive repairs.
Returned to duty the aircraft flew two more sorties. In the second, one of their engines was struck by a friendly bomb. The aircraft attempted to limp home again but was forced to ditch into the North Sea
This build is dedicated to the memory of John 'Lucky' Luckadoo, last B-17 pilot of the Bloody Hundredth, who passed away earlier this month. Brave the deadly skies of occupied Europe!
