There is the infamous Parker-Erie Boeing B-17 and what looks like a Douglas B-18 in composite. Neat concept for the 1930's just remember to keep the "Flak Happy" Bombardier in the B-18 away from the "Bomb's Away" switch!

OK...the administrator will need to clear some of the cache space before those will show. If you have your photos at a photo sharing site like Flickr, you can insert the URL to the photo instead.

Erie Toys by Parker, in Erie, PA, had a piggy back set of a Boeing 247D over a Flying Fortress B-17.
The enclosed photos show the B-17 with the metal clip to support the B-247D, and
the B-247D is shown also separately. This last model is particularly rare as it has no embossed registration.

Fascinating! I've never heard of such a thing with these two aircraft!
