Of particular interest is the total lack of defensive armament on the B17 in the background, suggesting that this may be one of the trans-Atlantic mail planes. The RCAF's 168 Heavy Transport Squadron hurriedly pressed 6 B17E's into service after roughly painting over the US markings. Perhaps this B17 is one of them?
CHIMO!
