Bang Bang Lulu 
No. 43-38905, A B-17G-100-BO, built by Boeing in October 1944, and assigned to the 708th Squadron sometime before the end of that year.
According to Crew Chief Harvey May,
Bang Bang Lulu was named after a song.
 Bang bang Lulu,
Lulu’s gone away,
Who is going to bang bang,
Now Lulu’s gone away.

Lulu’s got a boyfriend,
His name is Tommy Tucker,
And every time he takes her out,
All he wants to do is...

Bang bang Lulu,
Lulu’s gone away,
Who is going to bang bang,
Now Lulu’s gone away.

And then again there’s Lulu,
She likes her little bits,
There’s nothing she likes better,
Than flopping out her ...
