	Caption states "Delta Rebel" of the 322nd Bomb Sq, 91st BG. This is either a captioning error, or a heretofore unidentified B-17G. Both previously published Forts so named ("Delta Rebel" & "Delta Rebel No. 2") were B-17Fs of the 323rd Bomb Sq. "Rebel's Revenge" was a third B-17F, also assigned the 323rd, as was "Ramblin' Rebel" (43-37540), an unpainted B-17G and veteran of 100+ missions. Judging from the mission marker string visible on the nose, perhaps this is the latter ship, simply mis-captioned. Source WWII US Air Force Photos…Page 1 Made 18 Jun 2009
