Great stuff as always Scott. Many thanks for taking the time to gather and post this information.

Just out of curiousity. Isn't the color LIFE photo a B17B?

[aerovin2]

Yep. Oops.

Scott,
Did you notice that Cheyenne Tail turret on this bird? That makes it a B-17G, and the Luftwaffe only resurrected 2 or 3 of those that I know of; 1 was shot down by a mosquito over France, I believe, in '44, and another was shot down by Luftstreitkrafte Flak during a move of KG 200's B-17s and B-24.

This from "Fortress at War"
