Following are some Websites and additional resources on the B-17 you might find interesting...

"The Memphis Belle" - the movie - conveys a feeling of what it was like to be a part of a "Flying Fortress" crew. The aerial segments are powerful and as close to real as possible for a movie. The mass take off scene is outstanding. It is available on both VHS tape and DVD at most rental outlets (incidently, the real "Memphis Belle" is on display in Memphis, TN).
