The legendary Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress played a vital role in World War II, serving in every combat zone but making its greatest impact over Europe. Alongside the B-24 Liberator, the B-17 formed the backbone of the U.S. Army Air Forces' strategic bombing campaign, helping to cripple Germany’s war industry and pave the way for victory.

The B-17F Memphis Belle is one of the most famous bombers in history, becoming the first heavy bomber to complete 25 combat missions over Europe and return to the U.S. This aircraft and its crew became symbols of American airpower and resilience during the war.
