### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    My Uncle Dominic was a B-17 mechanic in WWII
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2019*

The writer put me in every position that the 10-man crew of the Flying Fort with his vivid descriptions. My uncles, Jack Houston and Dominic Correro were intimately involved with the B-17 in different locations during WWII. Uncle Jack was credited with 7 kills as a waist gunner in the CBI theater and Uncle Dominic was quoted to have said, “I could dismantle an engine and replace every piece blindfolded.” May God rest theirs and all souls who ever were B-17 personnel.

    An interesting read..
  

*by D***E on Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2019*

There's something about the B-17, no denying that.  This provides an interesting history of how the engineers and accountants at Boeing laid the company on the line to develop the B-17 that the government didn't know it desperately needed.  A strong thread of personal stories are woven into the history of this aircraft at war almost to the end of the book.  The last 2 chapters are almost anti climactic as it lapses into statistics of aircraft sent up on missions and losses.  After the war usage is vague and seems a bit of an afterthought on the part of the author.  Overall,  I'd still recommend this book to any warbird enthusiast.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great book on a great fighting machine.
  

*by R***D on Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2021*

Having just gotten into the first couple chapters, it is told from a personal view which one doesn’t always get from historical facts and numbers. It reveals the aircraft’s weaknesses and it’s ruggedness to bring itself and the men flying it back home. It makes one think of the fears and horrors these boys endured. If you’re a WWII enthusiast, especially for the air war, this book is great.
