David Engel, son of 100th Bomb Group navigator, Lt Russ Engel, shares memories of his father and what he believes is the reason behind the name of the original “Squawkin Hawk” nose art on the B-17 Flying Fortress assigned to Thorpe Abbotts during World War II, during a nose art dedication ceremony at Royal Air Force Mildenhall, England, Oct. 10, 2023. The 100th Air Refueling Wing held a ceremony to unveil two additional heritage nose arts to its fleet, one of which was “Squawkin Hawk,” in honor of those who served at Thorpe Abbotts during World War II, many of whom made the ultimate sacrifice.
