Relatively fast and high-flying for a bomber of its era the B-17 was used primarily in the European Theater of Operations and dropped more bombs than any other aircraft during World War II. It is the third-most produced bomber of all time behind the four-engined Consolidated B-24 Liberator and the multirole twin-engined Junkers Ju 88. It was also employed as a transport antisubmarine aircraft drone controller and search-and-rescue aircraft. In a USAAC competition Boeing's prototype Model 299/XB-17 outperformed two other entries but crashed losing the initial 200-bomber contract to the Douglas B-18 Bolo. Still the Air Corps ordered 13 more B-17s for further evaluation then introduced it into service in 1938. The B-17 evolved through numerous design advances but from its inception the USAAC later the USAAF promoted the aircraft as a strategic weapon. It was a fast high-flying long-range bomber with heavy defensive armament at the expense of bombload. It developed a reputation for toughness based upon stories and photos of badly damaged B-17s safely returning to base. The B-17 saw early action in the Pacific War where it conducted raids against Japanese shipping and airfields. But it was primarily employed by the USAAF in the daylight strategic bombing campaign over Europe. "Pilot Training Manual for the B-17 Flying Fortress" which was issued to B-17 pilots during World War II and was considered to be the "textbook of the B-17". The manual begins with a brief history of the B-17 and then goes on to explain to the pilot the duties and responsibilities of each of his crew members. Following this is a series of topics dealing with the characteristics and operation of the B-17 itself and how the crew should handle various emergency situations. From the Foreword: This manual is the text for your training as a B-17 pilot and airplane commander. The Air Forces' most experienced training and supervisory personnel have collaborated to make it a complete exposition of what your pilot duties are how each duty will be performed and why it must be performed in the manner prescribed. The techniques and procedures described in this book are standard and mandatory. In this respect the manual serves the dual purpose of a training checklist and a working handbook. Use it to make sure that you learn everything described herein. Use it to study and review the essential facts concerning everything taught. Such additional self-study and review will not only advance your training but will alleviate the burden of your already overburdened instructors. This training manual does not replace the Technical Orders for the airplane which will always be your primary source of information concerning the B-17 so long as you fly it. This is essentially the textbook of the B-17. Used properly it will enable you to utilize the pertinent Technical Orders to even greater advantage. unknown
