I knew it was a B-17 the second I saw it (my favorite WWII aircraft), but couldn't figure out how the sun angle could change the profile. Until I read the comments. :)
Funny, I was just thinking of tracking down that movie yesterday. Someone had a good eye -- someone keyed on a subconscious level to the shape of the B-17.
I'll have to check my copy (copies?) of the DVD to see if the mentioned short is included. Could be this one, though I didn't spot the B-17 during a quick sort-of-viewing while at work. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJ6BiRtGTAk

Yet another movie I really need to watch again.

Looks as though a B-17 was used to shoot the footage.
