HB796/G was used as a countermeasures aircraft, tasked with dropping "window" to jam German radar. The 'G' added to the registration indicates this aircraft had to be guarded at all time. On February 9, 1945 it took off from RAF Oulton in support of a raid on the Ruhr. About an hour later it crashed into the sea off Kent killing all 10 crew. Photo from: Imperial War Museums

In 1945 the US Navy received a batch of B-17Gs which were fitted with search radar for anti-submarine warfare and received the PB-1W designation. Ex 44-85683, this aircraft is marked as a PB-1W, but it was designated as an XPB-1 for development of the AEW (Airborne Early Warning) role. It was damaged at Mustin Field, Philadelphia when the brakes failed on 29 December 1949. It was used briefly for drop tests as a DPB-1 in 1950. Photo from: Naval History and Heritage Command

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.
