Flying stop?
editMaybe I'm nitpicking, but since it was an experimental project, was it actually called "Flying Fortress"? OK, I know, it's developed from the '17, but... Trekphiler (talk) 08:43, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Boeing XB-38 Flying Fortress → Boeing/Vega XB-38 Flying Fortress – Other than supplying Vega with a B-17E, Boeing did not participate in the XB-38 project. Calling the XB-38 a "Boeing" aircraft is only partly accurate, as the USAAF had requested Vega to build the V-1710 engined B-17.[1] ZLEA T\C 13:42, 13 October 2019 (UTC)
