The B-17 Flying Fortress

The Flying Fortress was first deployed in the British Air Force under combat conditions, but initially did not achieve much success due to the effects of high altitude flying and rudimentary bombing procedures. Thanks to improvements to the type's armament and new defensive combat procedures used during convoy flight, the B-17 eventually found its place as a day bomb and hit the Hitler Third Reich. With the help of the photographs and illustrations in the volume, he tells the story of this remarkable type clearly and credibly, and also recalls the memories of the sailors who entrusted their lives to this aircraft.
