Hell's Angels #41-24577
B-17F 358BS (VK-D)

Go to the 303rd BG website. They have a whole section just on nose art. The
nose art on "Hell's Angels" evolved, and you can see several different pics on
the 303rd site.

There was at least one other Fortress named "Hell's Angels", but I disremember
the unit.

You're quite welcome.

You can still get a Minicraft/Hasegawa model in 1/72 scale of "Hell's Angels."

Hells Angels flew 25 raids at the worst time of the campaign and was never hit
by a bullet.

The 303rd BG was something of an elite unit. IIRC, 25 of the 36 original crews
fihished their tours successfully.
