I ask the indulgence of all directors, because I do not know if my post is placed in the right place, but this is my first topic on the forum.
I am French, I'm 63, and I practice English by traducteur.Il is quite possible that I make mistakes.
I am about to do a book on a B 17, and there is a subject in which it deals with aircraft IGN.
One of them F BDRS was repatriated to England to serve in the maintenance of flight SALLY B.
Plusisurs dismounted elements, it remained stored in the sheds of a museum, before undergoing restoration compléte state into a plane 401st Mary Alice.
I am seeking information as to why exactly the museum has chosen to restore the plane with these colors.
Thank you for your help
