I managed to isolate some frames from the video, and hmm - this is interesting:




B-17F with turrets removed and stripped back to NMF with a stripe coming off the nose, tail code in outline - and is that "4-F" below the serial? I imagine this must be the formation ship?

Thanks for posting these videos, Jerry!
