I have seen this particular one at several airshows. The best site I could find was this one, http://members.cox.net/b17brian/b17/MemphisBelleReplica/index.htm, which identifies this B-17 as the "Memphis Belle Replica", which was built in 1945 and never saw combat. Wikipedia says this is the aircraft that was used in the Memphis Belle movie http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memphis_Belle_(film) Apparently the original Memphis Belle is under a restoration project at the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. http://www.af.mil/news/story.asp?storyID=123012164 I did some surfing to find out the details of the B-17 we saw today.
