"The Old Glory Wagon" by S/Sgt. Wright Plummer, Jr.
She's the darling of the Air Corps And the sweetheart of her crew, She's the finest heavy bomber That flies up in the blue.
She's sometimes temperamental And sometimes kinda' slow, But she's always sure to get you Just where you want to go.
When you've got two engines feathered And your wings are full of flak, You know you needn't worry, Your ship will get you back.
I want no golden chariot To ride the heaven's scene I'll go the way I know is safe, In a proud old Seventeen!
S/Sgt. Wright 'Curly' Plummer Jr was assigned to the 301st BG 353rd Squadron.
Military Occupational Specialty (MOS): Ball Turrent Gunner.
