Last autumn I responded to a request from an American lady, for information on a B-17 Crash in Suffolk, England. When I replied, I had no idea of the journey I was embarking on !

Hi all, I was just wondering if any of you could help identify the planes that were used in the filming of the 1990 film Memphis Belle?
I've already identified the B-17s but looking for assistance on the other aircraft, here's the list that I've managed to put together from various sources but...
