FSX-P3D - Aeroplane Heaven - B17-F Flying Fortress v1.4

B17F-10 and B17F-20 “Flying Fortress”

“Memphis Belle” survived the war and most recently has been taken in for restoration by the United States Air Force Museum. Sadly, the original “Belle” had been the subject of vandalism over the years and the bulk of her original equipment and fittings removed. However, the Museum with the assistance of the “Memphis Belle” Association have been able to put her back on track to full restoration to how she was when she arrived in the States for her War Bond tour.

“Hell’s Angels”was a B17F-25 and actually completed her 25 missions ahead of “Memphis Belle”. She was in fact the first 8th. Air Force B17 to do so.

“Miami Clipper” flew back the the U.S in 1944 and “Blonde Bomber” flew its last mission in January 1944 when it was shot down over Western Germany.

Completing the lineup is “Bare Metal”, a fictional B17F-20 finished in unpainted aluminium. Although this never happened for the early models, it gives a taste of how they might have looked fresh from the factory before the drab green was applied.
