...All in all, I find nothing to show it's a fake.

Now let's look at real photos of B-17s in action...

That image is not even close to being real.

Thanks for sharing the B-17 formation photos. They bring back memories

You're very welcome, sir!

There was one photo I didn't use because it didn't have enough detail to compare to the original image in question, however I think you might be interested in seeing it, as it's from your 360th.

"Miss Umbriago" (PU*I) was assigned to the 360th at Molesworth 26 May 1944 and ran into trouble on the Magdeburg mission of 28 September 1944, crashing near Wittmar. Not sure of the mission/date when this photo was taken.

It was mission 248 when the aircraft crashed. The bombay doors appear to still be open indicating they just made the drop. The smoke markers indicate at least three squadrons dropped ahead of them. Thanks again for sharing.
