This is a repaint only for the Wings of Power Boeing B-17F/G Flying Fortress, in the markings of the Liberty Foundation's B-17G "Liberty Belle," N390TH. This aircraft was utilized by the Pratt & Whitney company after WWII as a T34 & T64 turboprop engine test bed, being modified to carry the 5th engine in the nose. Eventually the aircraft made its way to Tom Reilly's Vintage Aircraft where it was completely restored back to WWII configuration, requiring, among other things, the re-positioning of the cockpit to its original position. Owned by Dan Brooks/The Liberty Foundation, the aircraft can be seen at many airshows during the summer throughout the U.S.
