With a dedicated team of a minimum of two working on just the B-17, and doing all the stations needed to make it proper for DT's high specs, I'd say two years. And that would be for the simpler E model, not the more difficult G with chin turret. And I'd be very happy with the E as we actually have the maps to use it on.

Midway, The Solomons, and soon, New Guinea/New Britain. Also a real map of Java would be good for it too as a squadron of 17Es and P40s was sent there very early on to act as a delaying action till we could build our forces in Australia.
