YB-17 ..?

IMHO that's the Lockheed/Vega B-17F-5-VE s/n. 42-5724 named "Thunderbird" belonged to the 322nd BS, 91st BG, 8th AF.
 
The YB-40 is correct .... I found the pic of a better quality .. and the serial appears to be 42-5734 though. So it is the YB-40 (a modified B-17F-10-VE) named Seymour Angel later Red Balloon aka Old Ironsides.

and here the B-17F during getting the modifications to the YB-40 while delivered to the modification center at Tulsa in October/ November of 1942.
