Some months ago I purchased a superb painting of a B.17 with the nose art depicting a scantily clad female and named “Incendiary Blonde”. This painting shows the crew arriving at the aircraft in a 4 x 4 Willy’s Jeep. The picture was painted by “S R Pepper” 92.
However, I can see no serial number or other identification on this aircraft.
The nose guns are very similar to the ones fitted to 42-30783 of the 390BG (The Stork Club) viz a single 50 cal in the upper nose and a 50 cal in each cheek.
Could this have been a B.17F or a B17G with chin turret removed ?
If anyone can help with it identification I would be most appreciative.
So far I have drawn a “Blank” – perhaps it is “Artistic License”
Thank you
