Anyone have any idea of the serial number for an 8th Air Force B-17G that flew as Missouri Mule? Or know of any photos available of this airplane in service?

Thanks.

Well, thanks for that information but I guess I'm looking for another Missouri Mule. I have a photo of the airplane at Kingman before being scrapped and I'm trying to determine the s/n.

Thanks much, though, for the posting.
