B-17 Article

Captions came from several different sources - lets start with the into picture:

 ran the s/n through my computer and got the correct block number, ran the s/n through the internet and found the found that the aircraft crashed in Florida in 1944 while assigned to a training squardon - also, if you look at the picture, it is very obvious that the bombbay is closed.  If I were to add to the picture, it would also state this this aircraft was on its acceptance flight (look how clean the wings are).

 registration number for Boeing 299 is common knowledge.
 RAF Liberator B.I - ran visible s/n through Baugher page, verified though internet search.
 caption for SB-17G 44-83722 comes from my B-17 survivors page - this aircraft until recently was a survivors but has been parted out to get 3 other B-17's flyable - this aircraft was also used as an atom bomb ground test target.
 B-17G 43-38172 information can be found here: info about 43-38172 - tried doing this as a reference but could not get the link correct.

 trying to find the s/n for B-17E Pistol Packin' Momma

some of the information is just a matter of doing a google search - I like detailed captions and have tried to do a little clean-up of the captions - the order I like is Make and model and s/n on the top line (ie B-17G-30BO 43-XXXX), aircraft name right at the beginning of the second line then rest of info afterwards

Hope these changes are ok with you
