Photo of B-17 Flying Fortress 42-3438 taken in England before the final mission on October 30, when the plane crashed into the sea. The smoke-tank can be seen below the fuselage and you can also see how the fin and top side of the plane has been painted yellow (the drones had previously been painted white) for better visibility from the control plane. Photo USAF.
