In this comprehensively documented biography, Edward Jablonski tells the story of the Flying Fortress Boeing B-17, America's legendary long-range bomber.

Masterfully written, Flying Fortress is a classic in aviation literature with over 400 illustrations (many unpublished action photos) in addition to a section on the design of the Flying Fortress, which includes a number of detailed cutaway drawings. Approximately 60 pages from the Flying Fortress's Piloting Manual are also featured herein. Find out why the Flying Fortress ultimately redefined the concept of war.
