With your career sir as a legislator and a statesman I have nothing to do. That is a subject which must rest of examination in the hands of your legitimate judges your own constituents.

The following year he was appointed to the command of the Madras Army and in early 1856 became Commander-in-Chief in India. He caused resentment by his bias against the Indian Army and its sepoys. He was quoted as saying that he could never see a sepoy sentry "without turning away in disgust at his unsoldierlike appearance". Anson's appointment coincided with the tensions leading up to the Indian Mutiny of 1857. In May 1857 he sent troops to secure the arsenals in the Punjab. He intended to join the Meerut Brigade and to press on to retake Delhi but four days into the march he died of cholera at the age of 59. circa [1856- 57]. hardcover

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

The B-17F variants were the primary versions flying for the Eighth Air Force to face the Germans in 1943 and had standardized the manned Sperry ball turret for ventral defense also replacing the earlier 10-panel framed bombardier's nose glazing from the B subtype with an enlarged nearly frameless Plexiglas bombardier's nose enclosure for improved forward vision. The final production blocks of the B-17F from Douglas' plants did adopt the YB-40's "chin turret" giving them a much-improved forward defense capability. By the time the B-17G appeared the number of guns had been increased from seven to 13 the designs of the gun stations were finalized and other adjustments were completed. The B-17G was the final version of the Flying Fortress incorporating all changes made to its predecessor the B-17F and in total 8680 were built the last on 28 July 1945. Many B-17Gs were converted for other missions such as cargo hauling engine testing and reconnaissance. Initially designated SB-17G a number of B-17Gs were also converted for search-and-rescue duties later to be redesignated B-17H.

Of the roughly 1.5 million tons of bombs dropped on Nazi Germany and its occupied territories by U.S. aircraft over 640 000 tons 42.6% were dropped from B-17s. Aviation Publications paperback
