B17 Bomber Visit

"Aluminum Overcast," the EAA's restored bomber descended at DCRA on July 13 on a Salute To Veterans national tour. 

EAA's "Aluminum Overcast" was built in 1945 but was delivered to the Army Air Corps too late to see active service in World War II. The B-17 was donated to the EAA Aviation Foundation in 1981 with the provision the aircraft be maintained in airworthy condition. After display at the EAA AirVenture Museum in Oshkosh, Wis. for a decade, the airplane made its national tour debut in the spring of 1994.
