I wonder if anyone remembers the B-17 which was on display at the Laconia Airport for several years after WWII? It was sponsored by Scott & Williams, Inc. which had been instrumental in bringing it to the airport for public viewing, where it remained for approximately five years after that time. The company had been very much involved in the war effort, having been transformed from peacetime work to government contract work throughout those years. Its arrival was ushered in by a proper ceremony to greet the revered warrior.
