B-17G Flying Fortress at the Wings Over Houston Air Show, Houston, Texas, October 2013. This view features the cockpit, the top turret with lens flare, and one of four engines with propeller.
The B-17 is a vintage aircraft designed and built by Boeing for the purpose of strategic bombing. It is famous for its crucial role in helping the Allies prevail over Hitler in World War II. B-17s carried a crew of ten.
On this particular model, the B-17G, my father flew 31 missions over Europe out of Polebrook, England. He was part of the 8th Air Force, 351st Group, and 510th Squadron. As lead bombardier, he often flew at the request of the generals. It is possible they flew on this very plane. Thankfully my dad, an only child, returned home unscathed, married as decisively as he had enlisted for the war effort, and later sold boots and hats to one of his fellow service members from Polebrook, actor Clark Gable.
The B-17G was used by the following squadrons of the 8th Air F...
This true aesthetic loves beautiful things, from architecture to the intricate details of flowers and plants. A native Californian who lived in Arizona before settling in Texas, I love nature, topography, and exploring small towns, looking for old buildings, unique objects, and rust. I enjoy making scenes look interesting and natural, as I saw them, and worthy of a place in your home, your office, your life. For 15 years I worked as a dental hygienist. Then I spent 25 years as an award-winning writer, graphic designer, and editorial consultant--skills I still use in this venue and in helping others with special projects. This unique background, requiring discernment and perfection, helps ensure the quality of my work. I hope you will...

My uncle Ernie was a tail gunner in a B-17, Connie. He told me that near the end of the war, his plane was not camouflaged in olive drab but just silver aluminum. As a boy I built several models of the B-17 including the Memphis Belle. As an adult, the movie by that name showed the peril, emotion, and sentiments of all the young men that flew missions over Germany when the Luftwaffe and 88 flack canons were at their fiercest. Very nice description by you for this famous plane.....Fav / like
