It would be nice if a talented skinner... Big Grin

I know only two pictures of this plane, showing the noseart. Unfortunately no visual evidence of the Serial Number.
It is given as a B-17E, but from the shape of the glass nose cone, it looks like a B-17F...
General MacArthur used this plane from 1942 until April 1945. It would be interesting to have a skin of it, maybe to be used in a Campaign mission or two.

Any taker?

Thank you in advance.

I can see it now:

"Get Yamamoto", but in reverse.

Of course, the Japanese would never have been able to break the American naval codes, and their attacking force would have been shredded by the American escorts... Wink

It's an E with an F nosecone and all turrets removed.

A while back I did a skin of Gen. George Kenney's (5th AF commander) B-17 "Sally"

Info on "Sally"

I could swear I had uploaded it to Flying-Legends, but I can't find it at the moment.
