Representing a B-17 that saw intensive action in the last years of WW2, both in bombing and later POW liberation missions. It operated with the 561st Bomb Squadron (T), 388th Bomb Group (H) from RAF Knettishall in England. The actual aircraft here, B-17G 44-83512, was always based in North America, in the US and Newfoundland, and ended up as a ground instructional airframe at Lackland AFB. True identity in small print on the bottom of the tail, as is often the case with historic displays.

Lockheed-Vega-built B-17G, delivered to the Air Force on 31 Mar 1945 as 44-85599. Converted to DB-17G/DB-17P Drone Director in the early 1950s, and served as such until retired in Aug 1959. Flown to Abilene Municipal Airport for display in Oct 1960, and moved to nearby Dyess AFB in 1975 for restoration and display. The aircraft was later restored to B-17G configuration (with gun turrets) and falsely painted as 42-38133 "The Reluctant Dragon", as seen here. It represents a 96th Bomb Group aircraft that was lost in action on 5 Dec 1944.

Painted to represent Flying Fortress of the 390th Bomb Group at Framlingham, Suffolk, England in 1943, this is really a B-17G-110-VE 44-85828 built by Lockheed-Vega at Burbank. In August 1945 it was transferred to the US Coast Guard at Elizabeth City, NJ as a PB-1G, serialled 77254. It flew its last mission in October 1959 and was sold in 1960 as N9323R, being converted to a sprayer in 1962. Further modifications came in the late 1960s when it became a firefighting tanker, ending up with Aero Specialities at Mesa, AZ. Transported to the Pima museum by road in December 1980.
