As we approach the seventieth anniversary of the United States' entry into World War II, Haynes has published an owners' workshop manual on the mighty Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress.
One of the most famous and best-known bomber aircraft of all time, the B-17 spearheaded the US 8th Air Force's daylight air offensive over Germany and north-west Europe in World War II.
The latest classic aircraft to receive the Haynes Manual treatment, the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress Manual is centred around the French-owned and operated B-17G Pink Lady and the Imperial War Museum's B-17G Mary Alice, (the former featured in the film Memphis Belle).
Comprehensive photographs and diagrams show a complete engine overhaul, wing removal and undercarriage replacement.
Author Graeme Douglas, who helped restore Mary Alice, gives a full insight into owning, servicing and flying the USAAF's formidable World War II bomber. The Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress Manual is a fully-illustrated, authoritative manual and focuses on the practical and technical aspects of the aircraft.
The Author
Graeme Douglas has almost 30 years of experience working on the B-17. He spent 15 years as a part-time volunteer restoring B-17 Mary Alice at Duxford, and later as ground crew on the privately-owned B-17 Sally B. He lives in Essex.
