B-17G "Happy Gal" with odd serial number...info needed

Hey guys,

I recently acquired part of a Norden Bombsight that has an overhaul tag dated Feb 1945.

On the back, it appears to indicate:

B-17G 44-17101
Happy Gal

The problem is I cannot find ANY info on this bird, and the serial number does not seem right.

Any thoughts on this?

TIA

Mike
