    Heritage nose art “Wolff Pack” is displayed on one of the 100th Air Refueling Wing’s KC-135 Stratotanker aircraft at Royal Air Force Mildenhall Feb. 26, 2021. The nose art is based on World War II designs of the 100th Bomb Group, based at Thorpe Abbotts, Diss, England. Captain (ret.) Robert “Bob” Wolff was a B-17 Flying fortress pilot with the 418th Bomb Squadron, 100th BG, who flew seven combat missions out of Thorpe Abbotts. The KC-135 nose art was dedicated to Wolff in May 2021, on the 67th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day. (U.S. Air Force photo by Karen Abeyasekere)
