Production. B-17 heavy bomber. The bombardier's compartment in the nose of a new B-17F (Flying Fortress) bomber shows up clearly, as the huge warship of the air awaits it flight tests at Boeing's Seattle plant. The Flying Fortress has performed with great credit in the South Pacific, over Germany and elsewhere. It is a four-engine heavy bomber capable of flying at high altitudes
