A good site for tail numbers is here.

There were two B17's numbered 6135. One, 42-6135,
was made by Lockheed, a B17F which later became an
F9B (probably your aircraft). Unfortunately that's all
I've been able to find.

The other was 44-6135, made by Douglas, which was part of the 384th Bombing
Group, 545th BS, and was salvaged Jan 23, 1945.

Good luck
