Sally B is now a common sight on the European airshow circuit. Between 1982 and 1984 she carried these markings before being painted olive drab. I think she looked all the better for it though it is probably better protected against the weather now.

On display at Musée de l'Air at Le Bourget. This is ex-USAAF 44-8889 that was built as a B-17G at Lockheed Vega, Burbank and assigned to the 8th AF but kept in storage. In 1949 it was assigned to 7499 Air Force Composite Squadron (AFCS) in Germany as an RB-17G for photo-ELINT, which flew peripheral recce missions to detect Soviet radar. The aircraft was sold in 1954 to Institut Géographique National (IGN), modified for aerial mapping and operated out of Creil. It was retired to the museum in 1976.

These are parts of Boeing B-17G 42-38160 "Lonesome Polecat" of 550th sq, 385th BG of the USAAF 8th Air Force. This unit was stationed at Great Ashfield airbase, UK. The Flying Fortress ditched in Lake Zug, Switzerland after it had been hit by German fighters on 16 March 1944. The wreckage was raised from the lake in August 1952. It was initially displayed in St. Moritz, but scrapped in 1972/1973. Dutchman mr. Dam managed to acquire some parts which he later donated to CRASH.

On display at RAF Museum Hendon. Built in July 1945, this USAAF B-17G was transferred to the USN as BuNo. 77233 to serve as a land-based AEW aircraft. It was equipped with an AN/APS-20 search radar and flew as a PB-1W with VPW-1 in support of the Pacific Fleet and with VW-2 in the Atlantic Fleet. Struck off charge in 1956, it was converted to a firefighting tanker in the 1960s. It was restored to military configuration and ferried from California to the UK via Lajes in 1983. The aircraft wears the markings of 332nd BS, 94th BG(H) based at Bury St. Edmunds.
