Historical description of the B-17F Flying Fortress aircraft:
The Boeing B-17F Flying Fortress is an American heavy bomber, intensively used during World War II, especially from 1942 to 1945. It was employed mainly by the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) for daylight strategic bombing raids on industrial and military targets in occupied Europe and Germany. It was famous for its high resistance to combat damage and enormous defensive firepower. The B-17F was one of the earlier versions of this "Flying Fortress," featuring several aerodynamic improvements and increased operational range.
