The following link has some pictures of this curious and unusual version of the Flying Fortress, used to test the engine Wright XT-35 Typhon. I hope you enjoy and I count on your visit.

Not hard to see why the T-35 engine was originally planned for the B-52 given that it was more powerful than all 4 of the B-17s engines combined.
