Description
Now roars the flying fortress for to fight for Uncle Sam

The B-17 was built in the wake of germany's rearmament when the US realised it had to modernize its obsolete army air corps, The B-17 was intended as a long range bomber that would fly without fighter escorts, and relied upon its many machinegun emplacements to defend itself.

The airplane, first called YB-17 had a rough start, the prototype that boeing intended to win the design contract with crashed, killing the pilot and destroying the plane, this caused boeing to be disqualified for the bomber contract, however the military was still impressed by the plane's initial performance that it placed an order for multiple prototypes.

After the military realised that the Douglas's B-18's were underperforming and too slow to build they placed multiple orders for the B-17 as a heavy bomber, marking the start of many versions of this airplane.

B-17G Texas raiders

The Texas raiders B-17 was one of many B-17G models built during world war 2, however this specific aircraft served shortly as a PB-1W patrol bomber with the navy after the war.

After that she was sold to multiple different companies, when ultimately CAF aquired her for 50.000 dollars, and gave her back her old B-17G configuration used in the war, and named her Texas raiders to commemorate the Texan aviators that flew her.

propellers spin around the wings...not in the normal pattern of a propeller
