About this product
Product Information
The B-17 Flying Fortress is one of the most iconic aircraft in aviation history. Through a broad range of photos gathered from around the world, this book, the first of a two-volume series, chronicles the design, development, and wartime use of the early models of the Flying Fortress, from the ill-fated experimental model 299 through the B-17D, including the famous "Swoose." These early models are distinguished by their narrow fuselage, art deco styling, and a small, "shark fin" tail. A second volume will continue the B-17 story with the large-tail later models, B-17E through B-17H. The story of these iconic WWII aircraft is told through carefully researched photos, many of which have never before been published, and which are reproduced in remarkable clarity. Large, clear photos, coupled with descriptive and informative captions, unlock the secrets of this aircraft.

Reviews
The legendary B-17 Flying Fortress has been covered very many times by books over the years -- some good, some not so much. This fresh pictorial examination, though -- by noted researcher/historian David Doyle -- is a fine starting point for those new to the subject. It covers all sub-types up to D format and offers a wealth of useful photographs with accompanying captions. Some shots of the very early models are truly excellent and ooze the pioneering spirit of the era, while the sprinkling of colour views provides welcome extra detail in terms of paint schemes and markings. Certain individual studies are most revealing, such as the B-17B at Bolling Field in Washington DC, wearing water-soluble camouflage and the image showing technicians applying de-icer boots to the vertical stabiliser of another B. Each variant-specific chapter gives a potted account of the structural differences/additions and the book ends with period and restoration photos of B-17D The Swoose, held by the National Museum of the USAF. FlyPast Magazine, February 2021, Exterior and interior photos examine every nook and cranny of the aircraft from the pilot cockpit to the bomb bays.

Great seller with great communication! Item arrived complete, as described and for a good price. There was a bit of an issue with tracking the order at one point (not the seller's fault), but seller was proactive in reaching out to the carrier and myself to get everything back on track. Arrived when expected.
