As my Packers were losing

[NachtPiloten]

Decided to see how far I could get with.... who knows what this will become??

 

[HouseHobbit]

Too Cool!!!

 

[hairyspin]

Erm, Fortress III or PB-1? And with the continuing cold weather, would that be the Ice Bay Packers?

 

[Pat Pattle]

Nice one Ted! I do like B17's. What type is that with those aerial arrays?

 

[Lt. Heinz Becker]

Operation Aphrodite remote control B-17 flying bomb perhaps?

 

[grizzly50]

I know it's not an A through D model. Tail is all wrong, and no gun blisters, like the ones on a Catalina.

It has to be either an E or F model, as it has no chin turret, like the G model had.

Ted, could this be it?

"The RAF's No. b223 Squadron, as part of 100 Group, operated a number of Fortresses equipped with an electronic warfare system known as "Airborne Cigar" (ABC). This was operated by German–speaking radio operators who would identify and jam German ground controllers' broadcasts to their nightfighters. They could also pose as ground controllers themselves with the intention of steering nightfighters away from the bomber streams."

B-17 E or F (Fortress IIA and II in RAF service). A very welcome addition! Will there be a US version planned?

 

[Capt. Winters]

Ted, you are fast becoming my hero..

F model B17 is such a huge part of both the ETO, MTO and early PTO. theres endless scenario's for mission builders.


If I can help you in any way to complete this, please ask.

regards Rob.
