Later "Hell's Angel's" B-17

This time it's 1944, the Hell's Angel's" is now nose art. Capt. Monahan's crew, some didn't come back. There was a 1 in 6 chance if you were a crewman in the 8th AAF, that you would not make it back. Again this is the 303rd Bomb Group based at Molesworth England.
Some of the 303rd made it back to the staes, and some were most likely on bikes at the infamous Hollister rally in 1947 that started the "Bad Boy" biker image.
Some say this is where the "Hell's Angel's" M/C got their name, others the 1920's film, well maybe it's both.
