Boeing B-17 Ideas and Inspiration
finsrin:
Like Luft 46. How about doing 1946 next versions of any plane of any country. What might the B-17H be like as it faces Luft 46 ?
Maverick:
There was a B-17H though. Nominally the SB-17G, but also referred to as the B-17H in some instances.
On that theme however, I suspect the B-17 would be a second line machine and the B-29 or 32 (or 35!) would be the regular bomber.

Here's a possible '46 B-17?
USAAF leaders hoped the new lighter, sleeker, faster turbo-prop (one engine being more powerful than than 4 piston engines) B-17H would be able to survive. Unfortunately they were wrong...

Next version of B-17. Thinking that will be B-17H from what I know. You guys correct me if it is different. B-17G is a fine bomber, a challenge to improve upon.
Have the configuration figured out and all the major parts to build it with. Probably need some more bits-n-pieces once construction is in progress. Have to assign it a place in the production queue.

This explains the H designation somewhat:

But at the end of the day, it's your whif.
