B-17F "Miss Nona Lee II"

Does anyone know any of the history of this aircraft? I ask because I just noticed that it was a "tame" B-17 used by the Germans for air-to-air "gunnery" practise. After one such session it landed at the airfield of the Me 410s it was practising with, and let the boys try out various gun positions, as well as play with the bomb sight.

Good luck,
