After doing some studying and research: That B17 is lying across Southern Railways duel tracked mainline running thru Charlotte NC. The plane appears to be setting just short of runway 18, at then Morris AAB in Charlotte NC. Looking at the overall condition of intact, And my time working with the NTSB, leads me to believe that it was a pancake in, at very low speed. Looking at old maps of the Air base, shows that he almost made it in. The rail line is only a couple hundred feet from the end of the runway. Total loss, plane written off. But there were a lot that was probably salvaged to keep other birds in the air.
