    Boeing B-17F-115-BO Flying Fortress 42-30631 was the ship used to test the improved nose section armament for the B-17G-1-BO series in mid-'43. Retaining the added "cheek" .50 cal MGs of the late B-17F but with a reversed stagger and added visibility though bulging the front of the side windows, the G Model became the most produced and most remembered version of the Flying Fortress.

    B-17F serial 42-5309 never made it overseas. She was with the 532nd Bomb Squadron, 381st BG at Pyote AB, TX in April '43. Later she was transferred to Biggs Field in El Paso, where she served with the 235th Combat Crew Training Squadron.
