another photo of a 401st B-17 - I believe the AC is # 44-6508 Maiden USA (unless someone with better eyes can read the serial)

Thanks for letting us know. The first photo we have. The second photo I believe is Home Sick Angel just can't read the serial number but think the call letters are IN-J. I have asked the seller.

42-31090 is the serial number and IN-J is the call number for Nasty Habit.
