B 17- Miss Donna Mae

I don't know if anyone will look at this thread.  I just joined this site and found a discussion from 2007 about the Miss Donna Mae.  My husband Frank Laprezioso was the navigator on the original crew.  As far as I know, he, Henry Arnold, and George Mack are the only survivors from that crew.  Perry Palmer, copilot, passed away earlier this year.  We spent a lot of time visiting with him and family over the last 40 years.  Frank turned 90 in October of 2011 and doing well.  He served in the AF for 20 years.   We keep in touch with the Arnolds and had a letter last year from George.  We went to several of the reunions (Kansas City, Denver, and Sacramento)  and met Donna and her husband at one of them.    Jeanette Laprezioso

    Do you have any photos of the original Miss Donna Mae, as I am building RC versions and any photographic images will be greatly appreciated in making it historically accurate. It is important to me that it is done as correctly as possible, thanks.
