The B-17 IMHO is the best, coolest looking airplane ever made. No more powerful symbol of righteous American might ever flew.

Not even the B-52 ?


The coolest looking plane ever made... the SR-71 Black Bird...

Interesting. I always thought the B-24 'looked' more like a heavy bomber should. That aside I know that B-17 was more popular with the crews in the Army Air Corps.

I *knew* an older gentlemen who flew in the B-17's. He was stationed in India and 'Flew The Hump'. He and his wife would come once a week to a Lounge where I used to hang out after work. And we'd talk 'War Stuff'. He loved the B-17 and said he knew he'd always make it back in it.

Those two 'old folks' could still pound em down, LOL. But that was 11 years ago so I assume they prolly aren't around any longer.
