B-17s in film The War Lover

[Chris Brame]

Ah. Got it - Fuddy Duddy's the one with the cheek gun positions faired over.

[Jerry O'Neill]

One other way to ID "Fuddy Duddy" in the film is that it had a cargo door added to the left side in the waist gunner position, so if you watch the film, there is one B-17 with no left side waist gunner position. That is "Fuddy Duddy"!
