B-17 Memorial display at Cincinnati

[Glenn[_2_]]

Does anyone have an image that they could post of this aircraft.
I'm curios to see what it looks like in its current state.
Their website is not of much use, and neither is google (so far)

Hell, I live in Ohio and wasn't even aware of it...

NOT current, but LIFE magazine did a photo essay years ago and ran a
a pretty good article in the mag on visit to the wreck site.
and a folow up on the crew in 1964.
there are a lot of photos in the archive and a link to the magazine
article
make sure you read the editorial note as well near the front
of the magazine. (page 2)

main article starts on page 108 nothing on the recovery or rebuilding.

OK, thanks for that.

Was going to pass by Cincinnati in March and thought I'd try to have a look.
I wasn't sure if it was in a Hangar for display or not yet.

The airport doesn't even look like the plans on the site. The problem
is that Cincinnati owns the property in another city (Blue Ash) and
they've been squabbling for years over it.
