Product Details

The B-17 Flying Fortress was a four-engine heavy bomber developed by Boeing for the United States Army Air Corps. It was renowned for its high-altitude precision bombing missions during World War II and gained a reputation for returning home even after sustaining heavy damage. My Gal Sal, one of the three B-17s that landed on the Greenland icecap due to bad weather in June 1942, was rediscovered largely intact during a 1964 overflight and restored in 1995 to its current stable configuration, which is displayed at the National World War II Museum in Louisiana.
