The Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress is the best-known American heavy bomber of World War Two, playing a major role in the daylight strategic bombing offensive over occupied Europe and also saw operational use in the Asia and Pacific theatres.

This special publication, in association with FlyPast magazine, looks in detail at the history of the famous aircraft as it celebrates the 70th Anniversary of the prototype's first flight.

Various articles cover the personal wartime experiences of a number of veterans, specialist operations such as the Aphrodite and Batty missions using remotely controlled aircraft and early guided bombs (written by Roger Freeman), combat over Europe, Surviving airframes, RAF service, post-war service, Bombardment Groups, memorials and much more.

For those interested in collecting B-17 memorabilia there is a 'Marketplace' section with details of some of the latest B-17 related products and a competition to win a number of prizes.
