Great pictures, and some great history. I was particularly intrigued by the B-17, and did a little research on it. Turns out it ended up in storage at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, and was there from 1984 until January this year. It is now being restored at the Mighty Eighth Air Force Museum in Savannah, GA, where it will be put on static display after a bit of work, and a new paint job. There is some more information and a few pictures at this site:

Scroll down to February and one half 2009.
