Obviously a posed photograph of technicians ‘working’ on a B-17 in the one of the modification centres.

Literally hundreds of different changes made to wartime B-17s, although many were of no great significance from an operational standpoint. Indeed, it is often said that the B-l 7 was the most modified of all USAAF aircraft and it is almost certainly the case when looking at the additional modifications done at field level that no two B-17s were the same!

USAAF air depots specialising in the repair of B-17s in the USA were set up at Fairfield, Oklahoma City and Warner Robins airfields. Their customers were aircraft from the dozen B-l 7 training bases in the Second and Third Air Force areas.
