Re: B-17 to identify
Looks like 44-8483 was with the 398th but she should have been returned to USA; maybe the serial is 48493 not 83, with the 305th and salvaged in Germany 1946 ( possibly at Lechfeld).

Re: B-17 to identify
Your absolutely right! It's 48493! So Lechfeld it is.
Thanks everyone for your help. Very much appreciated

Re: B-17 to identify
Rolland. I don't think the photo on "avaluer.org" is 44-8587 (PFF) which was a G-70-VE with staggered waist windows ( fitted from 50-VE). They are straight-across on the photo.
Also seems to have a ball turret not a radome. What do you think? Nick |
