Looks like an early version of the B17 based on the tail structure. It does not appear to have the flairing along the top of the plane that merged into the tail fin like the later version. The early versions looked a little awkward and weak in the tail fin verses the later versions. Not sure why the flaring was added. I suspect it was for both strength and airflow.
