It I am right, only 10 were built and 3 of them were used by Airnautic.
It’s good that at least one has been preserved.

Got to see the restored one fly into Oshkosh in 2003…kinda sad to see it on display at the NASM Udvar Hazy facility last summer, but it was all polished and shiny and safe and NOT in the bay in Seattle where it crashed before being restored AGAIN and flown cross country to it’s new home at the UH facility….so I guess it all had a happy ending….she is a magnificent monster of a plane, a civilized B-17….
