Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress
Bowman, Martin W.
Crowood Aviation Series
First Edition
The Boeing B-17 is one of the most readily identifiable aircraft of World War Two. Known as the Flying Fortress due to its formidable defensive armament, it spearheaded the United States Army Air Force daylight bombing offensive against the Axis powers in Europe and the Pacific. Originally conceived as a long-range bomber capable of protecting the United States from naval attack, it first flew - as the Model 299 - on 28 July 1935 and was still in front-line service at the end of World War Two, ten years later.
