No. B-17Fs and B-17Gs had greater fuel capacity than earlier models, gained by adding what aircrews called "Tokyo tanks" in the ends of the wings. But the US had not gained islands for airfields within range of even these later model B-17s before the B-29 became available. There were B-17s (and B-24s) in the Pacific, but they did not fly missions to Japan. The bombing of Japan was carried out by the B-29s of the 14th Air Force, operating from airfields in China, and the 20th Air Force, operating from the Mariana Islands, and also by carrier aircraft when the Navy raided the Japanese Home Islands. All the B-29s operated in the Pacific, and none were involved in bombing Europe. The heavy bombers in Europe were the B-17s and B-24s.
