Osprey Production Line to Frontline 2 : Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress

From the vast production lines at the Boeing, Douglas and Lockheed Vega plants, to the war torn skies over Germany and the Pacific islands, the B-17 is seen it all its metallic glory. An eight page colour section provides a unique slice of period colour through the reproduction of the company advertisements that have not been seen in print since the war. Text by Michael O'Leary with illustrations by Mike Badrocke.
