I share with you some photos of a Boeing B-17 bomber with an exotic and unusual camouflage. Does anyone know if this plane entered service and what the function of this painting? I count on your visit. Aviação em Floripa: Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress "Spotted Cow" Best Regards.

Here is a b-17 i have not seen before. During World War II, one of the constant tensions for combat air force leaders was quantity versus quality, usually played out in answering the question of “what modifications produced enough added value they were worth slowing the production line for?”...

While playing golf Monday, a B-24 with P-51 on wing flew by on approach to the field at Torrance. Shortly thereafter a B-17 flew by. We do see these quite regularly but it is always thrill!

Hello everyone. I have a request. Together with a friend, I found the air temperature sensor TYPE C-13. I established myself that was installed in the aircraft bomb B-17, B-24 and B-25. In this sensor, the serial numbers ( text below ). I therefore question of what exactly the plane came from, I...

[ATTACH=full]269543 The story of a B-17 tailgunner with the 15th AF out of Italy. Hardcopy has been out for a couple of years and has sold over 5,000 copies. A simple read appropriate for middle school through adult. Not recommended for the hard core researchers. Rather a tribute to one man's...

I can't believe I found it! This is an original data plate from the incredibly rare Boeing Lockheed-Vega YB-40 / B-17F experimental bomber escort! A/C Serial Number 6030 / Registration Number 42-5734 This YB-40 was a combat veteran that served with the 92nd BG / 327th BS as "Seymore Angel"...

Can I get in contact with racerguy00? I am looking for more information about the B-17 "St. Christopher's kids" that went down in the Northsea, 4 nov 1944. Other data: Nr. 43-38165 off the 94BG/332BS, piloted by 1st Lt. H.F. Hummel. I have the basic data about this crash, but I wonder if...

Hi, friends! Received the first of three "banana boxes" of aircraft combat-loss parts today from Christiaan Vanhee in Belgium. That means Phase One of Airplane Christmas for me! In any case: Among the parts I have several pieces from RCAF HP Halifax LW682 of 426 Squadron that was shot down...

Hi, friends! A bit ago I completed by first B-17 painting, which I'd done more-or-less for myself to combine with parts I had of B-17G Serial Number 44-85813. Here are the results of that project: Shortly afterwards I was contacted by a very nice lady who asked me if I could somehow...

Hi, friends! After I did my XP-82 commission for Tom Reilly, he sent me a collection of aircraft parts from his past restoration projects, including an original duraluminum panel from the forward fuselage of B-17G 'Campaign Lady' (serial number 44-85813). That meant I had to produce a new...

Hi this is my first post as a new member. Here is my newly completed Monogram 1/48 B-17G "Chow Hound". The kit went together pretty will with some minor fit issues especially with the glass parts. I weathered the plane with salt chipping, dry brushing, various washes, and the airbrush. Let me...

Hi, I found the "Briefing room for B-17 pilots" image on the Warbirds forum, and it is exactly what I need, but too low-resolution (I'm producing a film for the National Park Service about WWII wrecks), I'm hoping to obtain a high-resolution version, and permission to use it in the film. I...

Hi I recently purchased the Revell 1/48 B-17G kit and am intending to paint and mark it up as close to Mi Amigo as possible. The serial number for this craft was 42/31322 (Oct 1943), and it arrived in Chelveston in late January 1944. Unfortunately this aircraft crash landed in a local park in...

Hi all! Well, I've lurked around here for a few years, but thought I'd finally post a few pics of a long term project I'm working on: She's going to be a 1/48 scale B-17B, circa August 1939 and I've been working on her slowly since January 2012. And here's where we're at: I've...
