September 9, 20196 yr Great video! Anyone know how many B-17s were manufactured? How many were lost in combat?
September 9, 20196 yr The aircraft went on to serve in every World War II combat zone, and by the time production ended in May 1945, 12,731 aircraft had been built. I believe only the B-24 Liberator at approx 18,500 had a higher production count! B-17's and B-24's were later scuttled for metal to be used in the production of B-29's. http://pippaettore.com/Horrific_WWII_Statistics.html Anyone know what that V-Tail is parked on the ramp near the end of the video?
