I slithered through a B17 about 20yrs ago in Geneseo, NY. I found it was cramped. The bomb racks for instance were rudimentary with some vertical slider racks on each side of a catwalk. The cockpit was very simple. It did what it was designed to do. The airmanship to get a burning plane down on its wheels and all aboard walk off is noteworthy. Let me be the first here to say, they don't make them like they used to.
