B-17 in the Morning - Aluminum Overcast



I enjoy being able to combine my two passions, photography, and warbirds. This particular picture was taken at Peachtree Dekalb Airport in Chamblee Georgia. It was early in the morning on an overcast day. The lights from the city cast a nice glow on the clouds over head.

The picture was taken in the dark with a rather long exposure. This particular B-17 is Aluminum Overcast. She was built in May 1945. Specifically, the plane is a B-17G-105-VE. It carries the colors of the 398th Bomb Group and specifically plane  Serial No. 42-102516, shot down over France in 1944.
