USAAF photo of a rare type, the first of only four XC-108 conversions. Originally delivered as a B-17E in Feb 1942, it was converted into the XC-108 VIP transport in 1943, to serve as General Douglas MacArthur's personal aircraft, named "Bataan". Armament and armor was removed, and it was fitted with a B-17F plexiglas nose with a single machine gun with a chrome barrel. The cabin was fitted with seats, tables, cooking facilities and extra windows for use as a flying living and office space. In Oct 1945 the aircraft was stored for disposal at Walnut Ridge, AR and sold for scrap in Sep 1946.
