What about a "Old 666" weapon mod for the B-17E.

It didn't play a big part in the war but you've got to admit, surviving a attack by 15 Zeroes and 2 Ki-46 Dinah's is quite impressive.

I wrote an essay on that for school... I got an A+ with a "You keep this up and we'll have you writing speeches for the president."

BTW, The YB-40 did take down the captured P-38 over Italy that was flying with American markings, shooting down all the damaged bombers.
