Shoo Shoo Baby (aircraft)
"Shoo Shoo Baby" is the name of a B-17 Flying Fortress in World War II, preserved and on public display. A B-17G-35-BO, serial number ''42-32076'', and manufactured by Boeing, it was named by her crew for a song of the same name made popular by The Andrews Sisters, the favorite song of its crew chief T/Sgt. Hank Cordes.〔 〕 Photographs of the bomber indicate that a third "Shoo" was added to the name at some point in May 1944 when the original aircraft commander completed his tour of duty and was replaced by another pilot.
The nose art on the airframe was one of some 130 pieces painted by line mechanic Tony Starcer for "The Ragged Irregulars", this one based on Alberto Vargas' "Hawaii" ''Esquire'' pin up art.〔http://nylon.net/pinups/vargas/x/vargas$hawaii.jpg〕
==Service history==
The aircraft that would become "Shoo Shoo Baby" was accepted into the U.S. Army Air Forces inventory on 19 January 1944, and arrived in Great Britain on 2 March. After depot modifications, it was flown to the 91st Bomb Group at RAF Bassingbourn on 23 March and began flying missions the next day.〔Havelaar, Marion H. (1995) ''The Ragged Irregulars of Bassingbourn: The 91st Bombardment Group in World War II''. Schiffer Military History. ISBN 0-88740-810-9〕 2nd Lt. Paul C. McDuffee was the first pilot assigned to the aircraft and flew 14 of his 25 missions in it, but nine different crews flew ''Shoo Shoo Baby'' on missions.
The B-17 flew 24 combat missions from England with the 91st BG, with three other missions aborted for mechanical problems, before being listed as missing in action on 29 May 1944. On its final mission, to the Focke Wulf aircraft component factory at Poznań, Poland, it crash-landed at Malmö Airport, Sweden.
