The B-17 Flying Fortress is the flagship of the Allied heavy bomber fleet, equipped with large numbers of bombs and heavy armor. The B-17 is capable of making effective bombing runs against all kinds of units and buildings. The lack of speed and maneuverability makes the B-17 a very vulnerable aircraft against Anti-Aircraft weaponry and interceptor fighters.
