Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress, 45.5" Overview
The B-17 lived up to its âflying fortressâ nickname during World War 2 when it penetrated deep into the Third Reich to blast German war production facilities. Bristling with machine guns, the âGâ version of the B-17 was a formidable opponent for enemy fighters being able to absorb extensive battle damage and still survive to deliver its bomb cargo on designated targets.
