Bomber_County Posted December 29, 2018 Posted December 29, 2018 Boeing B-17E Flying Fortress 41-9112 The Dreamboat nose....... For anyone who wants to modify their 17E to incorporate this turret. Done a lot of research on the B17 and 8th over the years but never seen this picture before. All pictures are for discussions only............. 5
