"Unmatched in the history of military aviation, the B-17 was the airplane which beat the odds against German air power, fighting the fearsome battles over European skies during World War II. America built almost 13,000 of these legendary machines; more than 4,700 were lost in combat, just a few still fly today. This extraordinary film captures those moments at that time when courageous men and their flying machines became legendary"--Container.
