B-17 Flying Fortress (Vol. 1) - Boeing's Model 299 through B-17D in World War II (Legends of Warfare)
The B-17 Flying Fortress is one of the most recognizable aircraft in aviation history. This book, the first in a two-volume series, explores the design, development, and early wartime use of the B-17, from the experimental Model 299 to the B-17D, including the well-known "Swoose." These early models are noted for their narrow fuselage, art deco design, and small "shark fin" tail.
The book features a carefully curated collection of rare and previously unpublished photographs from around the world, presented with detailed captions. A second volume will cover the later B-17E to B-17H models with their larger tails.
