From the Shorpy site.
NOVEMBER 23, 2014. "Warship of the Air: 1942."
December 1942. "Production B-17 heavy bombers. The four mighty engines of a new B-17F (Flying Fortress) bomber warm up at the airfield of Boeing's Seattle plant as another warship of the air awaits its test flight.
"The Flying fortress has performed with great credit in the South pacific, over Germany and elsewhere. It is a four engine heavy bomber capable of flying at high altitudes."

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
