Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress Boeing B-17 History
The Boeing B-17 ‘Flying Fortress’ boasts a remarkable legacy, as both a strategic weapon and an enduring symbol of American air power during the Second World War. Designed as a large, multi-engine bomber with substantial defensive armament, the B-17 was introduced in 1938. First used in combat with the RAF in 1941, carrying out bombing raids in France, its poor performance suggested that improved defences and greater bombing accuracy were needed. Later variants like the B-17G were more effective

Love B-17’s and watching them fly? During WW2 they were America’s heaviest hitter and became a symbol of the power of the US Air Force. Between 1936 & 1945, over 12,000 were built. Though most of them were scrapped after the war, several remain airworthy to this day. Goto www.rumboogiecrew.com/theplane to see video of a B17 start-up & a still flightworthy B17 taking off and landing. #military #army #navy #airforce #marines #ww2 #history #veterans #war #militaryservice #flyingfortress #b17 | Rumb

Ready for reassembly - B-17G-35-BO 42-32076 'Shoo Shoo Shoo Baby'. On 29th May 1944 the war came to an end for this B-17 and her crew when they were forced to land in Sweden, and were interned - seven other USAAF heavies ended their careers the same way that day. #ww2 #ww2history #B17 #flyingfortress #warbirds | Daniel J Wheatcroft
