The book, Aircraft Profile: Boeing B-17 G Flying Fortress (#205), takes a look at the definitive Boeing B-17 variant.  The B-17s were called flying fortresses because they could carry defensive armament of 10 to 12 .50 caliber machine guns and could carry bomb loads of nearly 5,000 pounds.  The B-17 G was the final mass produced variant of this venerable four engine strategic bomber.  While it flew in many different American bomber forces, it will forever be remembered as perhaps the greatest American bomber to operate in the European combat theater during World War II as part of the Eighth Air Force.  In edition to an informative narrative, this book includes the following features: 1) Approximately 43 black and white vintage photographs and 2) Two 3-way color aircraft profiles for "General Ike", a B-17 G flown by the 401st Combat Bombardment Wing, U.S. Eighth Army Air Force, Bassingbourn / Cabridgeshire, England, January 1945.  This book is sure to appeal to anyone interested in the history behind one of the most famous American bombers to be flown during World War II.  This book is 20 pages and is in fair condition.  The author is Roger A. Freeman.  Edition published in 1970.
