Few other aircraft of the war gained the universal affection of their aircrew over so long an operational periods did the B-17 Green . This manual served the dual purpose of training checklist and working handbook for B-17 pilot airplane commanders. Graphically intensive the manual covers all aspects of the Flying Fortress from operational duties and command to construction flight navigation weaponry emergencies etc. A very rare highly prized memento of aviation and military. history Owners ink signature to front cover.
