Inside Planes of Fame Air Museum's B-17G under restoration. This aircraft was delivered as 44-83684 on 7 May 1945, too late to see action in WW2. It went into storage in Texas and was converted to a DB-17G drone director aircraft to control radio-operated QB-17 target aircraft. In this role it participated in the 1951 Op Greenhouse nuclear tests and flew the last operational mission for the USAF on 6 Aug 1959. The staggered waist gun positions can be seen with the starboard gun moved forward by three fuselage frames. The seated Plexiglas windows afforded more comfort at combat altitude.

This is actually B-17G 44-83863 painted to represent a 96th BG B-17F, that unit being much later reformed as the 96th Test Wing here at Eglin. B-17F 42-3018 as painted was lost after conversion to an 'Aphrodite' flying bomb launched against U-boat pens in September 1944. The B-17G on show was delivered to the USN as PB-1W BuNo 77231 in 1945 and from 1947 was used in AEW testing by VX-4. Later with VC-11 and VW-1 before civilianisation as N6464D in 1957. Used as a fire tanker in the 1960s, becoming N5233V. Preserved at Eglin from 1975
