Great shots of great warbirds! The B-17 Flying Fortress (not "Superfortress;" that's the B-29) is my favorite plane of all time, though my deceased uncle would hate to hear me say that! He was a tail-gunner in B-24's of the 15th USAAF, flying out of N. Africa and later on Italy. He was shot down into the Med on that first disastrous Ploesti raid.
This is him inside the waistgun position, helping to load a belt of .50 cal:
