Hobbytime Review
Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress. Four -engine heavy bombardment aircraft developed before World War II.
The main task of the B-17 was the strategic daytime bombing against German industrial and civilian goals. The US 8th air fleet and Italian -style 15th air fleet, which was expanded to the UK in Operation Pointblank before Normandy extraction, served as a complementary element for Raf Bomber Command's night bombardment. In addition, the B-17s were used in Pacific Wars, albeit at a lower level. The B-17s are called Flying Fortress ("Flying Castle") due to 50-caliber machine guns found in every corner and upper and lower turnets. The USAAC used the B-17 as a strategic weapon in accordance with its pre-war design: a highly flying, long-range and high bombardment capacity, but easy to fall. Despite the heavy war damage, his ability to return to his base and turned his trunk landing B-17 into an icon. [4] [5] [6] Despite the lower range and bomb-carrying capacity than the B-24 Liberator, surveys have shown that pilots are more satisfied with the B-17. [7] B-17, II. During World War II, he carried more bombs than all other US planes. For example, 500 thousand tons of 1.5 million tons of bomb thrown into Germany were thrown with B-17s. The Boeing B-17 is the allied day bombardment plane, which serves the most in the entire front with the fact that the United States took part in the war. The success of the B-17 is hidden in its unique heavy defense equipment and its high altitude performance.
The Prototype 229 was designed by Boeing Aircraft Company in 1934 and made its first flight on July 28, 1935. In January 1937, 13 YB-17 (B-17 A) began tests. The first production model, B-17 B, started production in June 1939 and 39 were produced. B-17 C was equipped with heavier weapons. Most of the developed B-17 D's, which was put into service, disappeared on December 7, 1941 during the Japanese raid and attack on the Pearl Harbor Raid and the attack on the Philippine Airports. Remaining was used during the first attack of the United States on the Japanese ships on December 10, 1941. The United States 8th Air Force, the basic weapon of the B-17, produced 512 units, began day bombings in Europe on August 17, 1942 and continued this task until 1945. The "E" type was recently replaced with the "F" type produced 3,405 pieces. At the end of 1942, Boeing B-17 G Flying Fortress appeared on the stage. The B-17 G is the latest model of Fortress, with a machine-with-mounted front taret with a machine-mounted front of the two 0.5 (12.7 mm). In addition, a renovation was made in the settlement of the tail turret in the latest production "G". C-108 is the cargo aircraft version of B-17. When production was cut in April 1945, 8,680 B-17 G was produced, 85 of which were allocated with Royal Air Force (Roy). A total of 12,731 aircrafts, including Vega Aircraft Corporation (Burbank) and Douglas Aircraft Company (Tulsa), have been manufactured.
