B-17G Serial 338587

68.40.109.157

This aircraft is carried on your website listing as having been salvaged after battle damage in March 1945, and the Freeman book of abbreviated record cards agrees; however, this aircraft was in service in Alaska in 1952 as a TB-17 assigned to 110 Radar Calibration Squadron as documented by an accident report. Connecting these bits of information is the presumption that the aircraft was rebuilt at an 8th AF depot and returned to service in some form, surviving postwar to eventually serve with the Alaskan Air Command.

I'm looking for any details anyone may have regarding this aircraft.

Thanks very much for any help you can provide, and thanks for the excellent website.
