b-17e

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?”...

Here's another photo from the Panama Canal Zone in WWII. A B-17E in an unusual color scheme.Most likely used for anti-sub patrols, though the Navy claimed that mission. Possibly locally painted?
