Yes, it is! It's a B-17 Flying Fortress, and a fairly early model as well! You can tell; later models had a chin turret.
This bears the name 'Memphis Bell,' for the original bearer of the name, noteworthy for being the first USAAF bomber to complete 25 missions over Germany.
(hangs head in shame) Yes, I had to look that up.

I love the B-17. I have a furry story half written about what happened to the the Top Turret Gunner and Flight Engineer when he bailed out of a crashing bird. The basis of the story is actually factual, as related to me by the man himself at a mall a few years ago. The rest, well...
