B-17 Flying Fortress is a Bomber in Kards - The WWII CCG. The Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress was an American four-engine heavy bomber used by the United States Army Air Forces and the Royal Air Force in WWII. The B-17 was primarily used for strategic bombing of German industrial and military targets, but also in the Pacific War where it was used in raids against Japanese shipping and airfields. The aircraft had the reputation of being a very effective bomber and it dropped more bombs than any other
Three large beautiful hand-drawn illustrations of one of the most important aircraft of World War II, the B-17 Flying Fortress. More than 12,000 B-17s were built by Boeing, Lockheed-Vega and Douglas Aircraft Company from 1936 to 1945. Our B-17 Flying Fortress print is dedicated to the courageous men who flew long bomber missions in World War II. Flying aircraft that had been repaired numerous times, bomber crews had to battle enemy fighters, anti-aircraft weapons, lack of fuel, inclement weather, crude bombsight equipment, and the toil of flying long distances day after day. * Multiple sizes available * Custom printed on medium-weight, matte paper using vivid, archival inks. * All of our prints are carefully hand-rolled in tissue, inserted into plastic sleeves, and mailed in heavy duty tubes or boxes.
