B-17 Flying Fortress Price includes free standard shipping. The B-17 Flying Fortress was the first mass-produced, heavy-duty, four-engine bomber.
Almost 13,000 of the planes were built before they went out of production in 1945. Used primarily to smash the German industrial machine from the air, the planes were sent across the English Channel in huge formations. Many of the planes were shot down until the commanders came up with better armor, guns and tactics for flying as a self protecting group. When the P-51 Mustang entered the picture the bombers had fighter protection that could stay with them on the whole mission and the number of B-17's lost dropped to seven percent.
This hand crafted, mahogany replica is finished with a high-gloss varnish that emphasizes the warm brown tones and grain patterns of the wood. Inlaid material creates the distinctive window pattern. The result is an impressive reproduction. This is not a kit. Simply slip the wings into place and the plane is ready for display on the stand which is included.
