My great uncle, Paul Smith, was a pilot/co-pilot of Old Reliable. He was killed on a mission on Kayo in 44. Where is this plane now?

Thanks

My grandfather, Jason B. Jones, was a ball turret gunner on the B-17 "Old Reliable" in WWII. Thanks so much for posting this!

My grandfather, Donald George Wyman, was a flight engineer on "Old Reliable" during WWII. I'm so glad that you took this photograph and that I was able to find it. Thank you!!!
