A Version of the B17, It had a Lifeboat underneith that could be dropped to rescue downed pilots. It served in WWII, may of served in Korea but I doubt it.

No I left the properties there on purpose.
This particular aircraft was converted to a B-17H in 1948 and served in the Korean War. Some of its armament was restored in case of fighter attack.

You never said This Particular Aircraft in your first post, you just said what Plane, meaning In General

I don't have the sources to back it up, but I believe both the B-17H and a special B-17 that dropped paratroopers served in Vietnam also.

Considering the Military's use of working machines, I wouldn't put it past them at all.
