Yes they did.

The B-17 has a number of essential controls that can only be practically operated by someone in the right seat.

Just had this link sent to me, don't know if it's already been mentioned before it has been around for a while. Would be great if it can fly again.

I wonder if a risk assessment was made :)

Swamp Ghost is under restoration at the Pacific Aviation Museum, Hawaii. I don't think she will fly again. Here is a photo I took of her in May 2015

I watched "the way to the stars" the other day. I noticed that on one of the scenes of a B17 getting airborne that the film has been reversed, ie the writing on the side was backwards.
