What size was the tail wheel for a B-17., who made it and what tire did it take?
thanks
Jim

I think thats the one thing that could put down the current flying 17's...lack of tail wheel tires! I hear the Co-Op is looking at other wheels for the 17 that can accomodate a current tire...

Found this story about it and a list of co-op B-17's.
to bad a tire co. can't make a mold and make some new ones, big cost but look what they would do for the warbirds,
