KVOA 4 Tucson: A piece of history starts a new chapter in Tucson

A great day for the 390th!

On Saturday, January 9th we unveiled a new addition to our B-17 exhibit:  a fully-restored tail turret.  On loan from author Nick Veronico, the turret was restored over a period of 30 years with original parts sourced from all over the United States.  The exhibit is dedicated to Mr. Veronico’s uncle, 2nd Lt. Robert Woolfolk, a bombardier who, along with six other crew members, was killed in action on his fourth mission in May of 1944.

(And  keep an eye on our website; we’ll be featuring two new videos related to the tail turret in the near future!)
