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.[AuthorName]By David Doyle[/AuthorName][AuthorBio]The aircraft books by David Doyle, author of over 125 books, are noted for their thorough coverage of historic warplanes and his celebrated ability to locate scarce vintage imagery.[/AuthorBio][NumIllustration]211 color and b/w photos[/NumIllustration][CoAuthor][/CoAuthor][SubTitle]Boeing's B-17E through B-17H in World War II[/SubTitle][ColorPattern]211 color and b/w photos[/ColorPattern]
