That's the sole Boeing XB-38 version of the Fortress powered by liquid cooled Allison V-1710 engines (as used in the P-38)...40 mph faster than B-17 but lower ceiling....crashed after crew bailed out during engine fire en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_XB-38_Flying_Fortress

The XB-38 (converted B-17E) flew in 1943-- crashed after an engine fire less than a month later.

this is a wonderful shot! and the colors- were they restored?

I was trying to think of a tag that said something like "beginning of women's liberation movement" but more concise- ideas?

Excellent photo! Love the colors. It blows my mind how this photo survived with great colors! I enjoy the color match of her lipstick and the pen in her hand. I also like the history..how people dressed back then and actually "dolled" up for work like this woman in the 40's.
