WANTED: B-17E photos

Sputnik34 · 03-15-2007, 03:22 PM

I am trying to compile as many pictures as I can of the 512 B-17E's that were built by Boeing during WWII. Early B-17E models had flat nose cone and no chin turret. The photo album of this website has been a tremendous resource.

If anyone has any pictures of B-17E's out of books or magazines that they'd like to share, I would appreciate it. Serial #'s would be great too! I've Googled as many photos as I possibly can!

I'll have to go through my old magazine stacks, but I'm pretty sure theres an article or two from "Air Classics" in the '90s which had the B-17E. I seem to recall one having been found pretty intact in a junkyard, and another issue with a photo spread of early-model 'Forts.

I'll give it a good going over this weekend if I get the chance and get back to you, most of those issues havent seen the light of day since before I went to basic.

Not sure if these are all Es, but they lack the chin turret.

This ship is the subject of the painting above, posted by Concorde.

While in Australia.

A rather optimistic scoreboard!

The nose art, which incorporates the 93rd BS insignia.

All above photos were taken from "B-17 Flying Fortress" published by Squadron/Signal.

Some color shots of the prototype B-17E.

These four photos came from a Boeing website.
