Сдается мне - это сильно отфотошопленый Б-17. По крайней мере фюзеляж, крылья и оперение - точно его )
Краем уха слышал, что была такая идея использовать его против воздушных целей..
P.S.
В порядке бреда - а мож спец версия самолета для борьбы с дирижаблями?
Крылья очистили от двигателей чтобы аэродинамической качество поднять... Правда, я чет сомневаюсь, что в те времена был достаточно мощный авиационный двигатель, способный в одиночку поднять Б-17 в воздух и обеспечить ему приемлимую скорость, скороподъемность и высоту. Хотя... амеры известные извращенцы. Могли в тушку и несколько движков засунуть с приводом на один винт.
P.P.S.
Номер на крыле надо было бы закрасить

Я в шоку
The warbird registry follows the history of all Boeing B-17 Flying Fortresss that survived military service.

"JB-17G 1945 = Civil and USAF test-bed for an added 6000hp P&W XT34 "Turbo-Wasp," Wright XT-35, Wright R-3350, and Allison T-56 POP: 3 [N5111N, 44-85747, x]. While results were encouraging, the armistice and dawn of the jet age curbed the project."
"JB-17G-VE B-17G s/n 44-85813. Flying test aircraft. Civil registered N6694C and later N5111N "
"This particular B-17 was modified by Boeing for Pratt & Whitney to become a postwar engine testbed. Operated as N5111N, the airframe was substantially modified to accept a large radial engine in the nose. The cockpit was moved several feet aft and the fuselage was extensively reskinned for additional strength. Pratt & Whitney donated the airplane to a museum at Hartford, Connecticut, where it was displayed outdoors for a number of years. In 1979, however, it was nearly destroyed by a tornado that swept through the museum complex"
