"WWII History Magazine, "November 2006
...""B-17 at War" takes readers from the cockpit to the tail-gun in
one of the most formidable flying weapons ever devised..."B-17 at
War" is a source of unending pleasure to the Flying Fortress
fan."
Airpower," September 2006
"While this legendary airplane has been covered from nose-to-tail
in just about every possible way, along comes this effective new
work from Bill Yenne which takes a slightly different approach to
the telling of the often-told story. Rather than run down every
model of the B-17 ever built with scores of tables and reams of
technical data, Yenne has unearthed many unique, never-before-seen
photographs of crewmembers, aircraft, and special candid moments
that convey the true experience of flying the Fortress at war...If
you are a B-17 aficionado, a World War II buff, or just someone who
appreciates the incredible contribution this airplane made to win
that war, this informative new book is well worth the price."
