This photo is of a different Impatient Virgin. The correct nose art is here. https://www.americanairmuseum.com/media/19488

you have attach the wrong airplane. You have attached a Seattle built B-17F instead of a Long Beach Douglas.

Here is the correct image with data stencil legible, at AAM in Britain:

The best known candidate for the B-17F-BO image is
42-30217. I recommend to make both changes, moving the Douglas image here, and the Boeing to 42-30217 which would be atleast more fitting than here and very likely correct according to several lists. See also Wally Foreman’s B-17 NAND.
