The B-17 Flying Fortress was conceived by the well-known US
aviation designer and manufacturer Boeing during the 1930s,
principally as a defensive weapon. Owing to the high levels of
publicity it received during its service, it duly became a symbol
of the Allied war effort. Indeed, the B-17 became one of the most
important US aircraft of the war, and it played a major part in the
Allied bombing campaign against Nazi Germany. Eventually, over
12,700 B-17s of all versions were built, with initial service test
aircraft being delivered in 1937 and manufacture continuing until
1945, in several major series-produced variants and a host of
related models and conversions. With over 150 photographs, this
book specifically looks at the B-17G, which was the last major
production version and played a significant part in the US
strategic bombing campaign over Europe during the final years of
World War Two.
