Thanks for that, Cees! :)

I'll let the rest pass without comment, except to say that B-17s DID operate in Canada, both with the RCAF (168 Heavy Transport Sqn--several B-17E/F transatlantic mailplanes) and postwar on Arctic aerial survey (Kenting Ltd., I think). However the one in Labrador I understand to be a USAAF example; and I wish Mr Brooks the best in his efforts to recover it for rebuild. (Assuming that's who the Atlanta chap is; I know he had been examining prospects for recovering it some time ago)...
