Interesting, what targets and dates did the B17 drop (138kt?) of bombs on Japan, and where did they launch these missions from? I haven't read much on the bombing campaign against the Japanese mainland, thought it was pretty much all B29s plus a few B24s and of coarse B25s.
Both the Lancaster and B17 were great aircraft (not normally referred to as "planes") of WW2, but I would side with Richard, who seems know exactly what he is talking about, on which one packed the most punch.
Also, any one who is a self confessed "fanatic on strategic bombers" surely would not confuse Flak with "Flack"?
