A new 17 photo. Looking for some background

[Dan Johnson]

This one popped up on eBay. Taken in Tunisia/North Africa. I imagine it's in Steve's book on the B-17Fs but my copy is packed away at the moment. Some serious damage to the tail.



Blow up of the tail. Not a lot of serial to see sadly due to the damage

Very interesting photo. I wonder how the tail was damaged, and if any repairs have been performed? The rudder seems undamaged, so that would mean it wasn't shot at from the rear to cause the damage...
