   At this time Queen Elizabeth was a little girl. That's Queen Mary, her mother.

   This is the Queen Mother, Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, the Queen Consort of King George VI. Queen Elizabeth II was her daughter. Queen Mary was her mother-in-law.

   I found this searching the web. The pilot on the far right is my father, Lt. Joseph T. Beattie of the 379th bomb group. Also present that day were King George VI and Lt. Gen Jimmy Doolittle. This picture was taken in front of the B17 "Four of a Kind"

   I have some original press photos from that meet and greet with "four of a Kind in the background. Doolittle was there and I also think Queen Elizabeth II was there with her mother.

   Why doesn't someone make a memorial page for the bomber group or the plane and link all the pictures there?
