| Summary |
Unmatched in the history of military aviation, the B-17 was the airplane which beat the odds against German air power, fighting some of the most fearsome battles over the European skies during World War II. Americans built almost 13,000 of these legendary machines; more than 4,700 were lost in combat, and only a handful still fly today. |
