The B-17 Flying Fortress was a major factor in the success of the Allied war campaign against Germany. It was the epitome of a challenge faced, fought and won, a powerful and charismatic aircraft that achieved celebrity status and retained it throughout the war, operating extensively with the US 8th Air Force from bases throughout East Anglia. This book is the ultimate illustrated history of the B-17. It details the design and production of the bomber, its technical make-up and subsequent modifications. It also features an unprecedented abbreviated operational history of each of the 12,731 B-17s that flew in the war.
