While we see only three of the four ostensibly warmed-up engines, it is clear that at least one of them - starboard inboard - isn't running at all... :) Looks like an A-20 in the background on the right - not sure what is in the background on the left - a Ventura perhaps?

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called B-17 Flying Fortress, and we'd love to have your photo added to the group.

Interesting shot, I never realised that any YB17's remained in service during the war years. Interesting to see that nose turret arrangement. The aircraft to the left is a Douglas B18 Bolo, a bomber based on the DC-2 transport aircraft. The B17 and B18 were designed to the same specification, so it's interesting to see the two in the same shot.

Looks like they are rotating the propeller. That is commonly done with radial engines prior to flight. The purpose it to prevent damage to the engine from hydra locking, a condition caused by oil collecting in the lower cylinders. Dave

And then they discovered why all the rods were getting bent and failed. The starter with clutches pretty much cured that problem.
