Boeing seems pretty cool about that stuff. They are playing a major role in the restoration of the B-17's at Wright Pat as well.

Great! What role is Boeing playing in those restorations at Wright-Patt? I assume it is technical support, like blueprints, drawings, etc?

Just that. Lots of drawings and some interesting info. The Belle's navigator table is on the wrong side of the nose. That is because Boeing did a test with that batch of F models to see if there would be more room by doing that. The Belle is one of those.

I think you mean 'other' not 'wrong'.
The 'wrong side' implies they left England and bombed Ireland 25 times. 
Interesting info!
