New B-17B for ID - is it "60/2B" or "60/7B&qu

[pokryshkin]

I'm trying to ID - at least to plane-in-group number - this aircraft which I suspect has been phtographed about 5 times during this mission. IF wrong, than there are 2 almost identical aircraft which were photographed around the same time.

Can someone help me?

There is also ANOTHER photo of this aicraft, across the tops of 2 pages in Fortress In The Sky, if memory serves. Can someone submit this photo to help this research project?

Gratefully,

Dan Katz

Its a shame that Dik Sheoherd can't join in this thread, his knowledge of the B-17 is sorely missed

It really must have been something to fly one of these back then. Big Iron magestic bird.
