History The B-17
Flying Fortress was designed in 1934, then made its first flight on July
28, 1935, but wasn't ready for delivery until March 1940.
Hoisting a deadly load of bombs into the frozen skies, the
B-17 Flying Fortress was the United States workhorse heavy bomber during the
WWII. B-17s served around the globe, but they are B-17 Movie Poster-terrible
perhaps most famous for their Eight Air Force daylight strategic bombing raids
on Germany. Flying in close formation and bristling with machine guns, the 'Forts'
battled through storms of anti-aircraft fire and swarms of German fighters to
reach their targets.
The B-17 was slower than its counterpart bomber, the B-24
Liberator. It carried fewer bombs and couldn't fly as far as the B-24. Yet,
because of the B-17's sturdy and stout design, its crews trusted their aircraft
believing that their 'Forts' wouldn't let them down. B-17s returned to England
daily with their noses blown open, tails gashed and wings riddled with flack
damage. Often they touched down with one or two oil-streaked engines stone
cold, with the remaining engines moaning under the strain. Many crews felt that
they owed their lives to 'the old bird' that just wouldn't give up. As many as
12,731 Flying Fortresses were built.
