Tony and Paul,

It is probably too simple, but doesn't the reference:
shipnr 1984 refer to the 1.984th B-17 built by Douglas? (judging from the Douglas legend at the bottom of the plate?)

I know that most of the American aircraft factories used
shipnrs as well as serialnumbers. Thus ship no. 1 was the first one built and so on..... It might be a long shot but you'll never know?

Cheers

Cees
