Those seats were not installed in B-17G's. Despite what you see on 'restored" airplanes. Even the E and F models had them removed from combat airplanes. Throw 'em out and never look back
! Here is the page from the IPC for the B-17G showing seats. You will also note that the Radio Operators seat changed over the course of production. No other seats in the radio compartment:
