This is one of the many variants of the B-17. This version of the B-17 was nicknamed the “Typhoon”. This plane as used as a test at Wright field, (Ihaven’t researched where) and this is one of the two shipped to Wright. The JB-17 is a 5 engine Boeing B-17G (or B-17F on different versions), and is one of the most underated and coolest planes (in my opinion) I’ve ever seen.
