A project of this nature could not be undertaken without considerable help from many organizations and individuals.
Special thanks must go to Marilyn Phipps of Boeing Archives, Col. Richard L Upstromm and Tom Brewer from the USAF Museum, now the National Museum of the USAF for the provision of many photographs and details.
Background to the development and procurement of all the B-17 projects, and of both the Norden and Sperry bombsights can be found in published and unpublished primary source research material in the form of memoranda, policy statements and other documents from the Army Air Corps, the Navy, and Carl L. Norden inc., provided to us by Lynn Gamma and all in the U.S. Air Force Historical Research Center at Maxwell Air Force Base, Montgomery, Ala. The same applies the valuable services provided by the History Office of the Air Technical Service Command, Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio. Much other primary source documentation is also located in the National Archives and Records Administration at College Park, Maryland. Thanks must also go to the Institut Gographique National.
The archives of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics provided access to all their relevant material, as did the archives of the Aero-Medical facility at Wright Field, along with the Lovelace Respiratory Research Institute.
The archives of the Institute of Aircraft Production provided much information and a number of photographs, as did the RAF Museum, the Imperial War Museum and the Science Museum in London.
The late Roger Freeman provided photographs, as did Simon Peters and Martin Bowman and Peter Green from their respective collections.
Personal thanks must also go to David Lee, the former Deputy Director and Curator of Aircraft of the Imperial War Museum at Duxford, John Hamlin and to Vince Hemmings, the former curator of the East Anglian Aviation Societys Tower Museum at Bassingbourn.

The Boeing Aircraft Corporation has its origins in Seattle, Washington State USA when on 15 July 1916, William E Boeing, incorporated the Pacific Aero Products Co. following the maiden flight on the same day by of one of the two B&W seaplanes built with the assistance of George Conrad Westervelt, a U.S. Navy engineer.
William Edward Boeing was born in Detroit, Michigan, to a wealthy German mining engineer named Wilhelm Bing who had made a fortune developing large low-grade penuckle taconite iron ore deposits and who had a sideline as a timber merchant. Anglicizing his name to William after returning from being educated in Switzerland in 1900 to attend Yale University, Boeing left Yale in 1903 to go into the lumber side of the business. He bought extensive timberlands around Grays Harbor on the Pacific side of the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State, and also bought into lumber operations.
