Assigned to operations over Europe this aircraft flew out of Rattlesden England and was part of the relentless bombing campaign against German military targets. It earned its fame not only for its striking nose art—depicting a pin-up girl wearing lace—but also for its resilience in battle. Like many B-17s it played a crucial role in daylight precision bombing striking enemy factories rail yards and strategic installations deep inside occupied territory.During its service A Bit o’ Lace faced intense anti-aircraft fire and attacks from Luftwaffe fighters yet it continued to bring its crew home safely. The B-17G model featured key improvements including a chin turret for better defense against frontal attacks making it one of the most formidable heavy bombers of the war. Missions were perilous but the aircraft’s robust design and skilled crew allowed it to contribute significantly to the air war over Germany. It became one of the many Flying Fortresses that helped turn the tide of the conflict
