Impressive set of photos! The B-17 with the single engine turboprop seems
IMHO to really accentuate the B-17's wings. More so than usual, that is.


It's a fake, look where the engine nacelles would be. The person who
runs that site was told a couple of months ago in rec.aviation.military
and refuses to update it. The actual aircraft was used to test engines
in the nose, but the picture in question was photo shopped.
