The B-17 with the single engine turboprop seems IMHO to really accentuate the B-17's wings. More so than usual, that is. There is some question as to whether the photo was airbrushed, or not. No question at all. Two things to look for: 1) near where the nacelles would be there is obvious alteration and 2) the main gear on a B-17 retract forward into the inboard nacelles right behind the engine and forward of the leading edge of the wing. Notice how there is no cut out in the leading edge for the gear and there is no gear showing. Dan, U.S. Air Force, retired That's what I get for trying to be subtle.
