Are there any WWII games out there with multiplayer allowing a few people to all crew the same B17 (pilot, tailgunner, side gunners, etc.)?

Eh, closest thing I've played in a while is mentioned in my sig. But even then, it's one pilot, one gunner, and unmanned gun positions shoot the same direction as the manned one (if in their arc).

The last game I played that let one take almost a whole squad of his best friends up in a single buff was Air Warrior. We can all curse EA for killing that one.

Yeah, that was great fun in Air Warrior - and pretty nerve wrecking as well being the captain with a whole lot of guys out back depending (and noticing my poor) flying!

Great stuff indeed!

Wasn't there a B-17 Memphis Belle addon for CFS3 a while back that re-created all the historical Belle missions? Don't know if it was multiplayer, but you could certainly play every position in the plane.

B-17 2 was supposed to implement what UhOh is talking about. http://www.bombs-away.net/forums/
I don't know if third party patches fixed it.

B-17 2 never got multiplayer. There are moves to make a new version of B-17 2 by updating the old code and adding new models and skins like they did with Battle of Britain 2 - Wings of Victory, but BoB 2 WoV is plagued by bugs so I don't hold out any hope for the new B-17 2 project

EA either bought it from Kesmai, or bought Kesmai itself. But either way they axed AW quite soundly.
