| I have found a work shirt with the logo of the B-17 "Mary Alice", the Gnatzi Knightmare.  If I were smarter I'd know how to post a picture, but could send one to anybody interested who would send me their email address.  It appears to be a work uniform shirt with a fully embroidered, multi-colored reproduction of the design on the back of the crew flight jacket pictured in a 2010 thread.  On the front it's tagged "Chuck" and "Crosby Independant School District" in Texas.  I understand "Mary Alice" is now at Duxford, so how this came to be on a work shirt from Texas has me guessing. <br/><br/><br/>

| Here are the photos!!!  The aircraft at Duxford is no longer painted in the colors of the 401st Bomb Group or with the nose art of Mary Alice.  To be politically correct now it's just a plain Jane b-17G with olive drab colors.....  It could be someone that is related to a member of the crews of the Mary Alice who knows without background on the shirt.<br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i1126.photobucket.com/albums/l608/donaldbyers/A2%20Jackets/MaryAlice_zps304c8fe3.jpg' /><br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i1126.photobucket.com/albums/l608/donaldbyers/A2%20Jackets/MaryAlice2_zps46882fd7.jpg' /><br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i1126.photobucket.com/albums/l608/donaldbyers/A2%20Jackets/MaryAlice3_zpsab94b5e9.jpg' /><br/> <br/> Don <br/><br/>Sgt.

| Also of note is the reference to the ME-410 which was a 2 engine fighter and apparent shoot down of this German aircraft.<br/> <br/> Don <br/><br/>Sgt. Donald C. Byers, 613th Bomb Squadron, Togglier, 42-97344 Carrie B II, KIA 08/24/1944.<br/>

| Very sad news in the Poop from the Group newsletter that Dan Knight has gone forever aloft. He was the pilot of the Mary Alice and named it after his mom. I have not seen this posted here and wanted to send our heartfelt sympathy out to his family. <br/><br/><br/>
