I'm going to presume this image is mis-titled, and that this is a YB-17 pilot.

I thought that by 1942 they were calling them B-17's and had dropped the "Y" bit but I guess not?

These photos were taken at Langley Field, where the first dozen YB-17s were delivered (in 1937) and test flown by the 2nd Bombardment Group (of which this guy is a member, presumably). I have no reason to believe that the designation being used here isn't correct, as I haven't found any record of the YB-17s being taken out of service. Even by 1942 I can't see why they wouldn't still use the YB-17s for anti-submarine warfare, which the primary mission of the 2nd until they transferred to North Africa in October of 1942.

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called American Soldiers, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

There are books and scholarly research papers out there if you seek it out. These aviators were a primary focus of mine in college in the early 90s.
