It’s been a while since I’ve done up one of these posts, and with the recent loss of the Liberty Belle, I figured it was time to do one on the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress.
One interesting side note on the B-17’s history, and an SF connection, is that Gene Roddenberry flew B-17s with the 394th Bomb Squadron, 5th Bombardment Group (Heavy), XIII Air Force, during World War II.
