This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

The B24bestweb really does a fine job with that other four engine bomber. I like especially using their nose art search pages to determine serial numbers, squadrons, etc.
When will somebody get brave and start a similar web site for the B-17?
Any retired and bored computer-savy guys out there that want to take that on? The contributions you will get will overwhelm you in the first year or two I'm sure.

I agree wholeheartedly! I think that saving/storing the photos in a s/n searchable manner would also be helpful. Would be an easy way to figure out if you'd acquired a photo of every B-17 produced. A tall order, but a goal that I'm sure tons of folks would help with.

I am well on my way to documenting (with pictures) all 512 Boeing B-17Es. Working with the E is a tall order I have found; documenting and finding pictures of approx. 12,000 more B-17s will definitely take a while! I hope to put my findings on a website in the near future. Maybe I'll start with the 'F' model after that.
With that said, anyone have any pictures of B-17Es they'd like to share?

Know what you mean, I am doing N3N's and I only have 816 to look for.
