One of the main and most important Allied bombers, the B-17 was sparked interest and greed target of Germans and Japanese during WW2. Inevitably some planes were captured and tested by the enemy. I share with you the link below that has some photos of these planes, some rare, with German and Japanese markings. To see the photos, visit the link below: Aviação em Floripa: Fortalezas Voadoras capturadas Best Regards, Anthony
Here is an oral history by MAJ (later MG) Robert Goldsworthy. He was shot down over Japan in December 1944 and was ordered to instruct the Japanese how to operate a captured B-17. Do a search for B-17 and on page 132 you can see his account. https://app.leg.wa.gov/oralhistory/goldsworthy.pdf
