B-17G Flying Fortress Wooden Model Aircraft

About the B-17G Flying Fortress Aircraft

B-17G Flying Fortress, bomber aircraft, is one of the most famous airplanes ever built. Its prototype made its first flight on July 28, 1935. During the last year of World War II and shortly thereafter, the United States Navy acquired 48 ex-USAAF B-17s for patrol and air-sea rescue work. The first two ex-USAAF B-17s, a B-17F (later modified to B-17G standard) and a B-17G were obtained by the Navy for various development programs. At first, these aircraft operated under their original USAAF designations but on July 31, 1945, they were assigned the naval aircraft designation PB-1, a designation which had originally been used in 1925 for the Boeing Model 50 experimental flying boat.
