B-17 armor plates (5 Viewers)

[WESTLAND]

Hi. This time, I'm looking for detailed armor layout diagrams for the B-17 series of aircraft. General diagrams don't provide the necessary information. Thanks in advance for the help!

Thank you, but those are general diagrams. I am interested in detailed information that specifies the thickness.

Interestingly, both of the IPC's on Aircorps Library are missing the armor plating pages.

However, the IPC posted here on the site has those pages. It's upload -6, page 266.

If you need dimensions, take the part numbers on page 267 and plug them into the Aircorps Library search and you can pull up the drawings. Hopefully they're readable, not all scans are.
