List of units using the B-17 Flying Fortress
<B-17 Flying Fortress
The Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress was among the first mass-produced four-engined heavy bombers. A total of more than 12,000 were made, making its use as a heavy bomber second only to the B-24 Liberator . Though used in all theatres of World War II , it was most common in the European Theatre , where its lack of range and smaller bombload relative to other heavy bombers was not so detrimental as it was in the Pacific , where most American airbases were thousands of miles apart.
