The latest drawing from the cellar of the B-17 Information Headquarters.

Looks good to me but just a tad hard to pull up details at that resolution. Probably just as well. Curious as to why it is serial 41-2393, though.

It is a large size drawing (92" wide) and I just cut the resolution to fit on the screen (sort of).
I'll give out the PDF if you want it, but without the number codes (still being cleaned up)
no one will know what the stencil is supposed to be.

41-2393 was B-17E #1, so that is what was on the drawing originally.
Note the Sperry remote controlled turret.

Oh goodness, please do post it when it's finished- this looks like an absolute gold mine for info that I don't think I've ever seen before!

Our webmaster has something up his sleeve.
Be patient, and let's see how this works out.

Until it does, here is the second page.
