Description: With more than 400 stunning illustrations, here is the gripping and unforgettable story of the B-17-the greatest fighting plane of World War II - and of their gallant crews who made history in the legendary Flying Fortress.The Boeing B-17 was more than a plane - and its story, and that of its crews - is more than history. It is drama, romance, adventure, tragedy and folklore set against the panorama of the greatest war in history. To the men who flew in the B-17, and particularly to those who feel they owe their lives to this majestic aircraft, it was more than a metal monster with four engines and 100-ft wing. The B-17 was almost human - the “Queen of the Bombers”, the “Big Bird”, a “Glory Wagon”, affectionately named “Rosie's Riveter's”, “Memphis Belle”, “Hells Angels” - names which during the bittersweet years of war became as celebrated as the men who fought in them.
