The most prominent name for this plane isn’t even mentioned here. The video of the plane with the number 124614, from which you have posted stills, also clearly shows the pilot at that time, Clyde Walker, and the nose art of his second plane, the Boom Town Jr. Search for the „Boomtown bounce“ (or „Boom Town bounce“ in quotes) and B-17 and Clyde Walker to learn of the very amazing namesake of the BoomTown Jr., also piloted by Clyde Walker and his crew.

Oops! The video from which your stills came filmed more than one B-17, and shows the wrong number for the crew that is featured, and for the nose art that is shown. The number is for a different plane, while the nose art and the featured crew and featured pilot (clearly Clyde Walker, my uncle) are for the BoomTown Jr.
