Hi Res




This is a photo of the original Nancy Rae team that deployed to Shemya on New Years Eve, 1961. They were known as "Ali Baba and The Forty Thieves". The photo above was taken inside hangar #2 shortly after arrival with Nancy Rae (59-1491) in the background. The original crew was assembled from many bases and assigned to Wright-Patterson, AFB Ohio. Nancy Rae eventually became known as Wanda Belle and Rivet Ball.
