Revisions
Extensive research of B-17F modification by author proves without a doubt that the F-15-DL does not allign with image of Windy City Avenger See numerious articles at Flying Fortress 1936 1945 at FACEBOOK , Flip Marchese, group.
The windy city avenger previously linked at the Douglas F seris is actually a much later F-BO.
