| SAAF B17? Hi everyone. this is my first time on here, i stumbled on the site by accident. Does anyone know whether the SAAF ever took delivery or operated B.17's? They operated B.24's, Havocs and Marauders but I can find no record of them ever having used B.17's... does anyone know better? Cheers, Pejayte |

 | I do not think we ever had any B-17 in our airforce and would have heard, see or read about it, but will look it up for you.

| Plesier my friend. No I got no info on a B-17 in the SAAF. I was at the SAAF airforce museum and did not see any of such or read anything about it. Jammer / sorry I could not give you any good news.

| 31 and 34 squadrons were the only SAAF heavy bomber units and they flew B-24 Liberators out of Foggia. |
