The B-17E. B-17E/Late, and B-17G should have different FMs since:

• E model dimensions
  • Length: 73 ft 9.66 in
  • Height: 19 ft 1 in
  • Span: 103 ft 9.38 in
• G model dimensions
  • Length: 74 ft 9 inches
  • Height: 19 ft 1 in
  • Span: 103 ft 9 in
• E has the ventral remote turret
• E/Late has the ventral Sperry ball turret resulting in a different drag profile 
• G has the powered chin turret and changed tail turret resulting in a different drag profile
• E models used the R-1820-65 engines
• E models used the B-2 turbosuperchargers limited to 23,400 rpm
• G models used the R-1820-97 engines
• G models used the B-22 turbosuperchargers limited to 26,400 rpm
• E models are limited to 305 mph IAS when diving with flaps up and cowls closed
