The Boeing B-17 “Flying Fortress” four-engine heavy bomber was widely used by the United States Army Air Force during World War II. Produced in large numbers, it was primarily deployed by the 8th Air Force for strategic daytime bombing missions over the European front, supported by a long-range fighter escort. Compared to previous versions, the B-17F was distinguished by its increased range, greater bomb capacity, and enhanced defensive armament, consisting of ten .50 caliber machine guns. Crews particularly appreciated the B-17 “Flying Fortress’s” robustness, its ability to return to base even after sustaining significant enemy damage.
