In the background, aircraft are lined up on the taxiway and main runway for take off. In the second photo a B-17 is rolling down the main runway.The B-17 in the first photo, passing the tower, is serial 359th BS B-17G #42-97284 Ain't Misbehavin aka Ain't Miss Bea Haven (BN-S), delivered to 359th BS on 09 April 1944.
