 The Sentimental Journey, is a B-17 bomber that rolled off the Douglas assembly line in late 1944, and was accepted by the Army Air Corp on March 13, 1945. It continues to fly and tour the US, thanks to the Arizona Wing at Falcon Field in Mesa, Arizona.
The pinup on the nose is Betty Grable. More info at the link above.
This photo was shot at the airport in Akron, Colorado in the early AM on a cloudy day.
