100th BG legacy nose art, ‘Just-A-Snappin’ joins 100th ARW, Bloody Hundredth heritage

U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Sebastian Miskimmin, top, removes a cover to unveil the 100th Air Refueling Wing’s latest legacy nose art addition, “Just-A-Snappin,” assisted by Steve Crosby, left, son of then-1st Lt. Harry Crosby, World War II and 100th Bomb Group navigator, and Lt. Col. Scott Engman, 100th Logistics Readiness Squadron commander, during a ceremony at RAF Mildenhall, England, June 9, 2025. The nose art, designed by Gary Rogers, 100th ARW Public Affairs graphic designer, pays tribute to Crosby and the rest of the aircrew who flew together on the B-17 Flying Fortress, Just-A-Snappin, on the Bremen mission over Germany in October 1943.
