About this mod

A B-17 skin based on "Ye Olde Pub" which was piloted by Charlie Brown when Luftwaffe Ace Franz Stigler in a chivalrous act spared the lives of the crippled bomber's crew. This skin includes both the base skin and the damage skin.

Permissions and credits
This skin is as historically accurate as I could get with the notable exception that this skin is for the E/L variant in the game rather than the F model that was the Ye Olde Pub. But this skin should be able to be applied to the F variant if and whenever it is released in game by changing the name of the files.

The B-17's roundels are depicted as Late war here. Many of the references and decal sheets I have seen for Ye Olde Pub seem to indicate it having late war markings. However in the Book A Higher Call on the back cover it appears that the B-17 behind the crew has 'mid-war' roundels which have a red trim around the stars and bars. I would have opted for the red bordered roundel but I was having resolution issues and it was just not coming out clean so I opted to leave that out in favor of increased legibility. The lack of the white border around Ye Olde Pub can also be attributed to this.

****UPDATE 1.1****
Damage skin has been fixed with alpha channel to properly display transparency. Old file has been replaced. Further fine tuning has been made on decals to try to increase sharpness. White border is now visible around Ye Olde Pub due to increased resolution.
