If you have an interest in WW II aircraft nose art you can download an epdf of the B-17 Nose Art Name Directory.

Pages 7 to 48 + 65 to 91 list the name, group, squadron, and serial#, about 125 per page.
I'm amazed how many repeats there are, for instance 11 Umbriago, 12 Stinky(jr), 17 Queenie, 11 Old Ironsides, 17 Liberty Bell(e), 12 Impatient Virgin, 12 Fearless Fosdick, 16 Boomerang, 14 Bad Penny. I didn't even try to count the ones starting with Texas, Big, or Heaven.

There's about 15 pages of photographs but they are very poor quality.
