During the vicious air battle over Europe (WW2), when the average lifespan of a bomber was only 13 flights, this B-17 bomber was the first to complete and survive 25 combat missions. It’s been the subject of countless books and documentaries, and a feature film has even been produced, which, for many years, firmly held the position in the top 10 best military aviation movies of all time. Boeing B-17 became known as one of the best heavy bombers of World War II. But interestingly enough, B-17s might not even exist at all.
