On 27 June 1942 this B-17E made a forced landing on the Greenland Ice Cap. The crew was rescued, but the a/c wasn't recovered until 1995. Now restored, it has been on display in the aircraft gallery area of the museum since 2012. This photo is copyright © Bob Thomas, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
