B-17 Flying Fortress A Bombing Legend

A must-have book for anyone with a soft spot in their heart for the tough old bird which brought so many crews home safely from the flak-filled skies over fortress Europe during World WarII. Stunning full-color photos picture the Flying Fortress in postwar action, including meticulously restored models flown by museums and collectors, firefighters, freighters, and even a B-17 which was used by the CIA for intelligence missions and which was equipped with a special set of "pinchers" extending from the nose to snatch agents who rose from the ground in helium balloons.O'Leary, Michael is the author of 'B-17 Flying Fortress A Bombing Legend' with ISBN 9781882663477 and ISBN 1882663470.
