Anachronistic B-29 engine cowlings line the back wall of the hangar, although B-29s were not used in the ETO. The 1958 Universal Pictures love triangle film The Lady Takes a Flyer about a woman involved with two pilots who trade in war-surplus aircraft, featured at least two B-17s. A B-17G operated by Intermountain Airlines, an actual Central Intelligence Agency front company, fitted with the Fulton recovery system, drops rescue gear to James Bond and his Bond girl in the Bahamas at the conclusion of the 1965 film Thunderball. This aircraft had actually been used by the CIA to insert and recover agents in the Arctic that had checked on an abandoned Soviet ice station under Project COLDFEET in 1963. Two DB-17P former drone-controllers and one B-17F were featured in the 1969 film The Thousand Plane Raid.
