Historical Authenticity: B-17G Flying Fortress

The B-17G Flying Fortress is one of the most famous American heavy bombers of World War II. The aircraft was intensively used by the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) between 1943 and 1945 during bombing operations over Western Europe, including the famous mass raids on strategic targets in Germany and occupied countries. "G" variant aircraft, with their distinctive nose turret and increased armament, became an aviation landmark as a symbol of American air power.
