...and since The Swoose was in NMF by 1945, that B-17D must be another one that survived the war. Wonder which one it was?

The camouflaged aircraft with the tall tail flying in formation with the camera ship appears to be a twin? Boeing 247? or something more exotic like a Japanese Medium bomber? rather than a four engined B17-D?

looks like Kingman? Except where the P-40's were stacked, Walnut Ridge?

I think that's the Swoose alright..wasn't she repainted in OD for her flight to LA for intended display?

It still looks like a twin to me???

Its definitely a Douglas B-23.

Do you mean the one in the movie is a B-23 rather than a B-17D

(or the pic I posted above? to show the similarity?)
