Flying Forts: The B-17 in World War II

Great book detailing the history of the B-17. The book goes through the B-17 models from the Boeing Model 299 all the way to the B-17G. The B-17 was an asset and the Second World War might not have been won without it.

An aging book in need of a reprint. Gives a good overview of the B17 with many anecdotes and mission stories. It's a bit of a slog at the beginning as you read through the development but it is written in such a way that you can skip past the boring bits.

If you're not familiar with the air war in WWII, this would be a great book. But even still I learned a few new things. I'd buy it again so to speak.

Great book about the B17 bomber crews and their aircraft.Meet Old 666 who came home from an impossible flight with two Medal of Honor Recipients aboard.S/Sgt Snuffy Smith had to be dug out of the spud locker so he could be presented his Medal of Honor.Terrible time in American Military History

excellent

I've read quite a few books on the B-17 and I've flown in one, so I can say without reservation that this is required reading for the student of history but also required reading if you really want a capsule book on the history of this great aircraft with the interesting sidelight stories that made up the extraordinary survival under and over insurmountable odds. Carry on.

for student project
