Weren't there a few attempts at doing a B-17 in the past? Must be cursed.

I still think the choice of B-24 is brilliant. The B-24 served in numbers in all theaters that the USAAF was involved with. We can use this plane from Burma to the Solomons to Europe to Italy and the Desert. The B-17 saw wide use too... but it was primarily filling the ranks within the 8th Air Force over Western Europe and the B-24 was used in greater numbers elsewhere.
The B-17 has been started several times to the best of my knowledge. It's about as cursed as the Spitfire XIV.
