the 17 and the 24 are death traps, too narrow and cold. but that was the scene back during the war .......... and yes I have been through both types several times
do you not think the main B-17 in that picture looks shorter and fatter than photos in real life? i think that picture has more of a caracture look than accurate reproduction............
Actually you're both right. Adler, the foremost ship is quite foreshortened. However the AC on the far right are a little squashed compared to photos with similar angles; my bad. Oh and by the way its an oil painting.
