Until the Flying Fortress and the Superfortress flew, only a few four-engine bomber designs had been successful. The two big Boeing bombers set the pattern for large, high-flying military aircraft for years to come. Once the war was over, their design contributed to the development of subsequent transports and airliners as mass transportation by air became a way of life.BI217326 (p2731)Maximum size:3000px × 2400px (~20 MB)10.0in × 8.0in (300dpi)License type:Rights ManagedKeywords:1940s-airplanes-ammunition/weapons systems-B-17F Flying Fortress-bombers-close-ups-day-exteriors-grid patterns-ground shots-historic production status-military-monoplanes-photos-propeller planes-sunshine-tarmac-viewed from above-vintage / retroRelated Photo/Videos:View All
