Archivo: B-17 bw left inflight

Descripción: Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress According to tail number (485818) the plane corresponds to series number 44-85818, and should be a Lockheed/Vega B-17G-110-VE Fortress, manufactured in 1945 by Lockheed's Vega division in Burbank, CA. It belongs to the last batch of B-17s ever manufacturedHowever, it lacks the "chin" turret and the "cheek" machine guns of the last F-series and the full G-series. The ventral turret is not the standard Sperry 654849J. Instead of it, the piece in ventral position looks like a dome for communications or radar equipment. On the other hand, consistently with its block number, (110-VE) it has no camouflage paint. USAAF did not use to alter the serial numbers. If you use this image, it is suggested to insert a caption like "A modified B-17G"
