History of the B-17E/F Aircraft

The B-17 Flying Fortress bomber was one of the most important American heavy bombers of World War II. The E and F versions were developed in the early and first half of the 1940s, forming the backbone of strategic operations over Europe and the Pacific. The B-17 was used primarily by the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF), providing support in campaigns such as the strategic bombing of Germany (Battle of Germany 1943-1945) and Pacific operations. Numerous modifications, as well as increased damage resistance and long range, earned this aircraft the nickname “Flying Fortress.”
