Airplane USAF B-17G Sentimental Journey Flying Fortress Gost Squdron Large 17" Wood Model Aircraft The Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress is a four-engine heavy bomber aircraft developed in the 1930s. The B-17 was primarily employed by the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) in the daylight precision strategic bombing campaign of World War II against German industrial and military targets. From its pre-war inception, it was touted as a strategic weapon; it was a potent, high-flying, long-range bomber that was able to defend itself, and to return home despite extensive battle damage. The B-17 quickly established itself as an effective weapons system, dropping more bombs than any other U.S. aircraft in World War II.This specific B-17 model is painted as "Sentimental Journey". Her nose art features Betty Grable, the number-one pin-up girl of the World War II era. "Sentimental Journey" is still in flying condition and is owned by the Commemorative Air Force and is regularly flown to airshows around the country.This handcrafted model is painstakingly built from Philippine mahogany by our skilled craftsmen with a wealth of detail and makes a great gift for any veteran, aviation enthusiast or history buff.
