The Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress is one of the most iconic aircraft in aviation history. Through a broad range of photos gathered from around the world, this book-the second of two volumes-chronicles the design, development, and wartime use of the late models of the Flying Fortress, from the first truly combat-capable model, the B-17E, to the lifesaving B-17H.
These B-17 versions featured the so-called "large" tail and were famously used in the devastating strategic-bombing campaign against Germany.
As a special feature, detailed coverage of the famed "Memphis Belle" is included.
Combine volumes 1 and 2 for the complete photographic reference on the Flying Fortress.
