The Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress is an American four-engineered heavy bomber developed in the 1930s for the United States Army Air Corps (USAAC). A fast and high-flying bomber of its era, the B-17 was used primarily in the European Theater of Operations and dropped more bombs than any other aircraft during World War II. It is the third-most produced bomber of all time, behind the American four-engineered Consolidated B-24 Liberator and the German multirole, twin-engineered Junkers Ju 88. It was also employed as a transport, antisubmarine aircraft, drone controller, and search-and-rescue aircraft.

Museum Closure
The museum is closed due to the Government Shutdown. This includes the online store. Any orders submitted will bot be filled and shipped until after the government reopens. Thank you.
For online orders. We will try to coordinate with the government staff to be able to fulfill orders once per week. But this is not guaranteed as we do not have our own access to the building.
