Bomber in a Fighter Squadron Date: Sep 21, 2008 12:13:42 AM PDT Author: B 17 Seems an odd way to begin a Fighter Squadron Forum, but somebody's got to get this party started. Anyone have any info on a B17 Bomber that was assigned to the 352nd Fighter Squadron. My Dad might have been the Radioman on that Fortress.

Bomber in a Fighter Squadron Date: Sep 28, 2008 3:07:26 AM PDT Author: B 17 Since I first posted this request, I've found info regarding the "H2X" & "H2S" Radar systems that were retro-fitted to B 17 Bombers in place of the Ball Turret. It's a stretch, so far, as to how a B 17 came to be assigned to the 352nd Fighter Squadron, but this is the best info I have so far to explain the facts I'm working with.   Reply to this Post
