985 WobblePudding  8.6 years ago

The B-17 Flying Fortress was a heavy US bomber during WWII. It flew at high altitude during daytime over very VERY long distances escorted by fighter aircraft. This B-17 is based on the Memphis Belle. It doesn't have any bombs though so feel free to improve the design!
