FLAK HAPPY
Posted by rontin on Thursday, September 2, 2010 1:26 PM

My father was a waist gunner on a b-17 named Flak Happy, 92nd bg, 327bs, Podington. If you want you can go to Footnote and enter --b-17 flak happy, or Lt. Moore flak happy and you will find photos. Believe me it is there. No nose art but the words FLAK HAPPY painted on the side of  the pilot in some wicked form of italics.  It is interesting that there was a b-17 named Alley Oop that has the same nose art as the patch on my father's a-2 jacket  Alley Oop riding a dinosaur and throwing a bomb with his right arm. Sincerely,

Ron Tincher
