About this Item

Crowood Aviation Series - - First Edition - - The Boeing B-17 is one of the most readily identifiable aircraft of World War Two. Known as the Flying Fortress due to its formidable defensive armament, it spearheaded the United States Army Air Force daylight bombing offensive against the Axis powers in Europe and the Pacific. Originally conceived as a long-range bomber capable of protecting the United States from naval attack, it first flew - as the Model 299 - on 28 July 1935 and was still in front-line service at the end of World War Two, ten years later. 192 p. many photos Hardcover with dust jacket, large format.
