BOEING B-17 FLYING FORTRESS

$9.95

Title: Boeing B-17 No’s 1 to 4

The B-17 four-engined heavy bomber was the second most numerous US bomber of WW2 after the B-24. Although the first Y1B-17 flew in 1936 the aircraft did not enter large scale production until after Pearl Harbor. Almost 13,000 were eventually built, the B-17F (3,400) and the B-17G (8,700) being the most numerous production variants.

The aircraft was largely employed in the daylight strategic bombing role using speed, altitude and a heavy defensive armament, but it also served many other roles including transport, maritime patrol, search and rescue, etc. It had a reputation for toughness and the ability to return to base after sustaining substantial damage

We offer four titles for the B-17 series including flight manuals for the most common variants, maintenance and parts manuals and two aircraft profiles. The files have been copied from the original flight manuals and retain any colour pages, unless otherwise stated. Each title is S$9.95.
