Yes, an actual combat veteran this time -
The Eagle's Wrath, minus top and chin turrets, up on a rack and displayed at some sort of event - details?

That photo was taken in Paris--you can see a leg of the Eiffel Tower in the background.

Thanks! I was more familiar with the OD/NG B-17G Duration Plus in that display.

I've seen that second photo somewhere before, or one similar. Also seems like there is a shot of the B-24 stuff taken from the same level.

This was the display under the Eiffel Tower, Paris as part of the USSTAF Military Equipment Exhibition / Air Forces
Exposition (1 August 1945 / 1 October 1945).
