U.S. Air Force Col. Ryan Garlow, 100th Air Refueling Wing commander, shares some of the history of what became known as “Black Week” for the 100th Bomb Group during World War II, and the heritage of “Squawkin Hawk,” originally a B-17 Flying Fortress, now a nose art on a KC-135 Stratotanker during a nose art dedication ceremony at Royal Air Force Mildenhall, England, Oct. 10, 2023. Garlow also has a personal tie to the 100th Bomb Group as his step-grandfather, Tech. Sgt. James P. Scott Jr., was part of the crew on the B-17 “High Life,” also stationed at Thorpe Abbotts during World War II. (U.S. Air Force photo by Karen Abeyasekere)
