Historical Description and Purpose

The model depicts a crew member of a B-17 bomber who served in the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) during World War II (1939–1945). The B-17 Flying Fortress was widely used for strategic raids over Germany and Italy. The crews of these aircraft documented the progress of missions, among others, using the K-20 camera, a replica of which is faithfully reproduced in the model. The K-20 was one of the most common cameras used to document the effects of bombings and served both for reconnaissance and for evaluating the effectiveness of combat missions.
