I believe last year the B-17G Fuddy Duddy was sold for around 3.2 to 3.5 million.

prolly 1945-47 maybe

B17's were built untill 1945.

If it was a war bond tour (read the fine print) it would have been 1943 or early 1944.

Once the B29's were in production, the govt wasnt eager to buy new B17's.

If it was 1943 it would be $2,913,294.80 according to this site...
