The Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress is a renowned World War II-era heavy bomber aircraft developed by Boeing for the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF). It was one of the most iconic and heavily produced bombers of the war, known for its ability to withstand damage and carry a significant bomb load. Here are some key features and details about the Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress:1. **Development**: The B-17 Flying Fortress was developed in the 1930s as a response to a USAAF request for a high-altitude, long-range bomber. Boeing's Model 299 prototype won the competition and evolved into the B-17 series.2. **Heavy Bomber**: The B-17 was designed as a heavy bomber capable of carrying a large bomb load over long distances. It played a significant role in daylight precision bombing raids over Europe during World War II.3. **Crew and Armament**: The B-17G Flying Fortress typically had a crew of ten, including the pilot, co-pilot, bombardier, navigator, radio operator, and gunners. It was heavily armed, with multiple machine gun positions to defend against enemy fighters.4. **Defensive Armament**: The B-17G featured a variety of machine gun positions, including the iconic "chin turret" under the nose, top turret, ball turret on the underside of the aircraft, waist gunner positions, and a tail gunner position. These defensive armaments were essential for protecting the bomber from enemy fighter attacks.5. **Bomb Load**: The B-17G could carry a bomb load of up to 8,000 pounds (3,600 kg) of ordnance, which was a significant payload for the time. It was used for precision bombing of strategic targets, including industrial complexes, military installations, and infrastructure.6. **Range and Endurance**: The Flying Fortress had a considerable operational range, which allowed it to conduct long-range missions over enemy territory. Its robust construction and redundant systems made it capable of returning to base even when severely damaged.7. **Iconic Appearance**: The B-17G is known for its distinctive appearance, with its nose art and prominent chin turret. It earned its nickname "Flying Fortress" due to its heavily armed and fortified design.8. **Service History**: The B-17 Flying Fortress served with distinction in all major theaters of World War II, including Europe, the Pacific, and North Africa. It was a workhorse of the USAAF's bombing campaign against Nazi Germany.9. **Post-War Service**: While the B-17 was phased out of active military service after World War II, some continued to serve in various roles, including search and rescue, transport, and aerial survey. Many were also used as firefighting aircraft in later years.10. **Legacy**: The B-17G Flying Fortress remains an enduring symbol of American air power during World War II. Several B-17s are still airworthy and can be seen at airshows and aviation museums, keeping their memory alive.The B-17G Flying Fortress is an iconic and historically significant aircraft that played a vital role in the Allied bombing campaign during World War II. Its durability, firepower, and contribution to the war effort have left a lasting legacy in aviation history.Measures 18.25 wingspan, 14 inch length.Mahogany.
