Auto Credit Based on WalrusAircraft's Simple B-17 (beta testing)
Design comes from @WalrusAircraft 's B-17, I did almost nothing. This B-17G was purchased by Pratt and Whitney Engine Company in 1947 for $2,700. Designated N5111N and recieved a civil conversion from Boeing in 1948. It was then converted into an engine testbed for Pratt and Whitney, the cockpit was moved back and a 5th engine mounted in the nose. This testbed was used for development of P&W T-34 and T-64 turboprop engines. -warbirdregistry.org
