Despite my usual suspicion of the cries of "it was much harder in my day" (and now I have reached that point myself) I can't help but have huge admiration and respect for those guys who were wazzing around at Mach 2.0 with an instrument panel that Isambard Kingdom Brunel would probably recognize (but having trained on the Chippie, so do I). The next time someone complains that their MFD or HOTAS is rubbish, they might want to see what these pilots were coping with. Now that's real multi-tasking, so much for Human Factors!

And it is a B-17, you can clearly see the 3/8" pop rivets on the Stbd Wing leading edge fillet.
