1/48 B-17G Flying Fortress |
Famous WWII U.S. Air Force heavy bomber.
The B-17G Flying Fortress was one of the best-known WW II heavy bombers of the American Air Force. Severe losses were suffered during the daylight raids of August 17 and October 14, 1943 with a total of 120 bombers shot down; this led to the realization that the B-17 versions in use at that time did not carry sufficient defensive armament, wich enabled the German fighters to take advantage of the blind spots. The solution was the improved B-17G, fitted with a rotating turret mounted under the nose with two 12,7 mm machine guns in order to cope with the frontal attacks of German fighters more effectively. At the same time, additional machine gun positions were installed in the nose, along with revised machine gun positions in the rear fuselage. Extra armour plating was also added to the aircraft. The crew now had a 360 defensive field of fire, giving rise to the name of "Flying Fortress". Mainly used over Europe, the Middle East and the Pacific theatres, the B-17G also gave invaluable service on maritime patrols and reconnaissance flights. After the end of the war, many Flying Fortresses remained in operational and non-operational service and were eventually replaced by later types.
