B-17 at War by Bill Yenne
This is the story of America's flying icon, from its inauspicious start (the prototype crashed a mere two months after its launch in 1935) to its starring role in World War II (serving first the RAF and then the U.S. Army Air Force, in every combat zone) to its eventual status as the grand old bomber without peer. Bill Yenne takes readers through the hits and misses of the B-17's development, the deployment of the different models, the missions flown, and the men who flew them.
Bill Yenne is the author of several MBI titles including, most recently, Secret Gadgets and Strange Gizmos: High-Tech (and Low-Tech) Innovations of the U.S. Military and The Story of the Boeing Company.
