Re: An interesting B17E. Looking for insight

With the wind deflector it would seem to be a camera port and maybe also used for leaflet drops as well.Cant imagine who they wanted to drop leaflets to so my guess is camera.

Re: Rare shot of Pearl Harbor B-17C 40-2049

Looks to me they were parting it out.Looks as if the left main has been knocked off the mount really making a mess of everything.Anyone seen a picture of her back on her gear?

Re: Can anyone identify these B-17F trainers?

I agree on stateside trainer.It may have been an E model upgraded with paddleblade props and cowlings as well as nose glass.The paint looks too nice for war weary as well.
