fightersweep Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) Lovely dio!Sorry for chiming in really late, but I only just stumbled across your build. I spent several years back in the 90's researching "Ice Cold Katy", and more or less gathered enough information for a book. I also corresponded with many ex 612th BS aircrew that flew on Katy. She completed 103 missions and survived the war returning to the States in July 1945. She ended her days at Kingman, Arizona like many other US aircraft and was scrapped sometime in 1946/47. Black outlines were introduced on the yellow tail stripe when the natural metal aircraft started to arrive at Deenethorpe so the group marking would stand out more, but it was several months before "Katy" was painted with the black stripes, so you can say that your dio dates between March and July 1944. Her regular crew at this time was that of 1st Lt. Richard McCord. I have photos of "Katy" showing both. In fact, "Katy" was one of the first natural metal B-17's the group received, one of three that arrived in March 1944.I discovered that her name came about due to a popular song at the time, and that it was reckoned that 42-107039 had a defective cockpit heater and was one of the coldest aircraft in the group. She was named by her first crew's top turret gunner/engineer, Sgt Earl C. Gibson.Best regards;Steve Edited March 30, 2017 by fightersweep 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
