Dave,
I got to meet Major Zeamer a number of years ago. The National IPMS was held at Dallas one year and we did a group display of airplanes involved with MOH actions. A friend of mine built the model of this airplane and consulted with Zeamer during the process. Maj. Zeamer said it was just your run-of-the-mill B-17 as far as appearance with some extra armament. I would have to guess that no one has found photos of the airplane or they'd have surfaced by now.
Gosh, you started this thread before I discovered WIX! I hope the bump helps us find something.

If you bring this up every few months your efforts might be rewarded. For the sounds of it I'd love to see a picture of the a/c in question.
I think I need to track down the story of the bombing raid also.

I figured there's always new info and photos coming to light, so I thought it was about time to bring this one back. I'm gonna do that periodically. There must be photos from BUs Spokane, Walla Walla and Hendricks out there somewhere from that time period. Or, I have seen a couple pics from the Albuquerque boneyard - maybe there's more out there ...
Then there's always those photos of a whole line of brand-new B-17s - that would be better than nothing. A shot of her post-combat all battle-scarred would be cooler, though.
Oh well, the quest continues ...
