Richard Stratton writes: The remaining two on their way home. We left the
Radar pods on these aircraft. The only problem we had getting all
three aircraft home is we had one engine that started running rough just
before setting down for fuel and rest at Phoenix Arizona. The
problem was a cotter key had not been installed that secured the adjusting
screw on the carburetor altitude aneroid by the overhaul facility.
This problem was discovered and corrected in about two hrs. and we were on
our way with no other problems.
Date taken was probably Nov61. Google: B-17 B-17G PB-1W N5237V 44-83868 Bu77233
