Satan’s Lady – one tough B-17G

I am honored to include on my website a small portion of the wartime diary of Loy F. Peterson. Loy was the pilot of Satan’s Lady, a most lucky B17. Loy flew 33 missions in her before returning to the States in late June, 1944. The aircraft survived the war, and even more remarkably, never had a wound or death among her crews on the 130 plus missions.

I am deeply indebted to Loy’s son, Roger Sykes, for allowing me the time to read through this awesome document.
