Aircraft recognition. .I was watching a video on YouTube a few days ago, and I knew the answer to the question asked. The question was what was the aircraft shown? Three people had answered before me, and had given the wrong answer, because of a simple error - the assumed the plane was a British heavy bomber. From the first sight, I knew what the plane was - a B17 Flying Fortress - the only question I needed to ask was which variation, that was answered by the end of the video. It is the last version (G). The give for me is the tail turret, the G had an elongated gun position, not the swivel turret of the earlier editions. The first giveaway is the structure of the fuselage, the British bombers were wider and shorter than their American counterparts. The US carried more powerful bombs, whereas the British carried more bombs. One person said it was a Wellington, there are no Wellingtons capable of flying, the only remaining Wellington is at RAF Hendon under reconstruction
