JRT,

Thanks for that interesting link. \:\)

The RAF was first to use the B-17 over Europe when 90 Squadron flew them operationally as early as July 1941. This was the B-17C mark which lacked adequate defensive armament and the tail fairing and turret which characterized later versions. I am surprised to learn that so many have survived!
