B-17 wings (?) seen on Interstate 10 in CA
About 2:25 Monday afternoon I was heading east on I-10 between about 20 miles west of Banning when I saw a semi going west. On the trailer was a pair of silver wings with two nacelles each with round firewalls and rounded wingtips. They looked very much like B-17 wings to me - but whose are they, an...

B-17 cockpit windscreen question (Greeley B-17 related)
Here's a still from "Tora! Tora! Tora!": http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y164/ChrisBrame/cap730.jpg Note the auxiliary windows in the windscreen - the B-17 fuselage from Greeley, CO appears to have them as well; this is now believed to be the 20th Century Fox studio plane. My question: Which B-17s ...

B-25
A couple years ago I attended a screening of a documentary on the Cinerama filming process that had a lot of nice color footage of N1203 flying (although in one sequence discussing Mantz having an engine failure, they showed a B-24 engine shutting down!).
