Aircraft information and history:

The first mass produced variant of the US Air Force WW2 4-Engined Heavy Bomber. Both aircraft portrayed in the kits markings undertook war bonds tours in 1943/44, raising morale back in the States.

Built and developed for the United States Army Air Corps (USAAC), the Boeing B-17 "Flying Fortress" was a fast, extremely capable bomber used for some of the most daring missions of WW2. 

Serving throughout the Second World War, the B-17 would see further use after the European War, in the Pacific against Japan.

The famous WWII US Air Force heavy bomber that inspired two great movies: wartime documentary "Memphis Belle: A Story of a Flying Fortress" and the late 20th Century movie "Memphis Belle".
