I'm planning (attempting, to be more accurate) a build of a B-17F-75-BO named "Murder Incorporated". The only information I can dig up was that its s/n was 42-29858 and was assigned to the 508th Bomb Squadron 351st Bomb Group. It might be a stretch, but, would anyone know if there is a photo of this particular aircraft?

First of all, I apologize for mistakenly posting this question here. I thought I posted it at Aeroscale WWII forum. chalk it up to an brain ignition switch problem. I just received a recall notice for it. I'll repost it there.
Thanks for going to the trouble, Rob. I found the same site while searching. I was hoping to find a photo of the aircraft so I could verify whether the artwork on the back of the jacket was the same as the nose art. I was also hoping to verify the fuselage code, which is listed as YB-G. It seems that this is one of those birds the crew didn't bother photographing.
