[edit] Fate of B-17Es

The article states that after the arrival of the more modern types such as the B-17G and the B-24, surviving B-17E models were either converted to transports or scraped. There is no citation for this claim. My impression is that surviving B-17Es either soldiered on in that form or were flown to maintenance depots where they were uprated to the the newer specification.

[edit] Images

Hi. I have found some images on this website: [1]. Three images: one of a B-17 (low resolution, i couldn't look the code of the plane), the second is a picture of a b-17 (it's not the old 666) and the third is a photo of the crew. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.8.155.198 (talk) 18:27, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
