b17

We have a piece of a B-17 that we found on the old Rougham airfield site. It’s not a huge piece but there are these various numbers stamped on it, so we’re trying to ID which plane it may have come from. We’ve looked at the serial numbers of B-17s stationed at Rougham, but can’t find anything...

Hey everyone, I need some help with identifying a certain B-17 Bomber. These pictures are from a German propaganda newsreel, No. 698 from January 20th, 1944. According to the voice-over, this bomber was shot down on January 15th, 1944, but seeing this is a Propaganda newsreel, this is not...

How did the 8th AF grade their drops? What were the categories? A B C D? Very Accurate? Not Accurate?

Hello: I'm new here, was recommended to this site by Larry McClellan who has an excellent website on technical details of many WWII a/c, especially the B-17. I have a question that maybe someone here can answer or research. For many years I've noticed that the Plexiglas nose on late model...

Where is the test where the British do intercepts of the B17 using the P38, P39, P40 Hurricane and Spitfire and then they fly the fighters against each other? I thought it was somewhere in WWII Aircraft Performance but I can't find it.

Hi all, I was able to find a picture of my Grandfather's B17 named Gallipolis Special. Unfortunately I wasn't able to find any pictures with the tail number. Can anyone find out more information on this ship just using the name? I believe it was also a pathfinder b17. Many Thanks, Brian

I've had this model of a 67 GTO sitting on my shelf for a few years now and finally started to give it a go. Wow what an experience. It's so relaxing! I was never particularly good at building them as a kid but now I'm hooked on the details. I knew I had a problem when I almost ordered a...

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...

Hello! I'm doing some general research on the b17-B, (pretty much for fun, but also modeling purposes), and was wondering if anyone had some insight on two questions that have been bugging me. First question: Is there some sort of cover that goes over the horrizontal slot in the gun...
