During WW2 the Nazis were so impressed by the B-17 they designed their own
version. I think they only built 2. If memory serves it was called the
Ou812.

The only known picture of it flying has for some reason shown up on a
military
humour site.

canards...

hadn't provided this proof earlier. That would have been a cheap shot g
