Re: B-17
The link between names and radio call signs is new to me, do you have any idea when it was introduced? It would be interesting to know the names for all the other prewar USAAC types that otherwise have gone down anonymously into history.

Re: B-17
Don't know. Seems that the first fighter was the P-38 and the first bomber the B-17. No official names previously (AFAIK). Maybe it started when they had a radio set aboard?
