28ZComeback Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Hello, Many years ago I chanced upon a photo of a F-17 Felix Swedish Airliner in China, 1945-1946, apparently evacuating Swedish missionaries from the fighting. Again it was a causal glance and I forgot the source. There is no record of any B-17 airliners in China, which compounds the problem for me, as I search through sources. Does anyone recall seeing the same, or one like it? Thank you for any leads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alt-92 Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Interesting Might it have been similar to 42-32076 'Shoo Shoo Shoo Baby' in that regard?
