My grandfathers B-17 was called the Nedralind but I never have been able to find any pix of the aircraft?

Were you previously registered at FR as "VANHALEN2002"?
This came up in a Google search for "b-17+nedralind".

Is the name "Nedralind" spelled accurately? There are only three (3) hits on that name in Google.

A bomb group number or squadron number or, ideally, a tail number, would be more useful in finding it.

Try "Nederland". There's a town of that name in both Colorado and Texas and perhaps elsewhere. It means Netherlands so a variation might be Nederlander. There must be web sites devoted to WWII aviation and B-17's in particular where someone with a lot of specialized knowledge could help you. Good luck.
