The B-17 Flying Fortress was a heavy bomber aircraft used during World War II. Designed by Boeing, over 12,000 were produced, and it was used for bombing missions against Germany. It had a crew of ten and was known for its toughness and durability. It took part in many famous raids, including the Schweinfurt raid, and was exported to other countries. Today, only a few airworthy B-17s exist, used in parades and as museum exhibits. The B-17 remains a symbol of American air power and one of the most important aircraft in aviation history.
