Item Description
Book is in Great condition the Dust cover has a little shelf wear
A very detailed and well
illustrated book concerning the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress. "More words
have probably been written about the Boeing B-17, the famed "Flying
Fortress", than any other product of the United States aircraft
industry. This book is not just another, reiterating what has previously
been recorded. The author covers aspects that have hitherto received
scant attention, presenting the aircraft as it was seen by those
operating and maintaining it, exploring its combat attributes and
deficiencies and showing why it became a legend. The development and
specification of the B-17, detailed in many earlier books, is only
touched upon here where relevant to the Fortress at war. The research
involved in seeking details of events rarely recorded in official
records entailed the help of a hundred persons, including nationals of
ten different countries. Several veterans have contributed first-person
accounts and there is one of every crew station on a Fortress, telling
what it was like to fly and fight in that position" With a collation of
authentic, first-hand impressions and experiences by the men who flew
and serviced the Fortress, backed by a unique collection of specially
collected photographs (over 250, with a section of color ones at well)
many published here for the first time. In keeping with other titles in
the highly successful Ian Allan 'At War' series, B-17 Fortress at War
has a host of previously unpublished photographs and personal stories
covering all of the Fortress's roles in all applicable theatres of war.
It will delight the veteran, the aircraft historian and the modeler
alike.
