The Pacific Profiles series presents the most accurate WWII profiles of Allied and Japanese aircraft which served throughout Australia; the South Pacific and New Guinea theatres. This Volume 16 covers the B-17E and F series which served in these theatres from their first appearance in Australia in the early weeks of the Pacific War until the final commander’s Fortress was scrapped in late 1944. The Fortress served with a total of one provisional and eighteen USAAF bombardment squadrons whilst many; after being stripped down and modified; went on to serve as transports and commander’s aircraft. Most profiles are presented for the first time; alongside markings derivations; including unit heraldry; artwork and serial numbers. This volume corrects past errors and bridges a vast gap in Fortress markings throughout the Pacific including Thirteenth Air Force transports and an early squadron which served with the USN. Each profile is supported by photos and/or documentation; along with the brief history of each bomber. Wide-ranging reference material sources assignment data; wreck reports; squadron records; colour photography; maintenance logs; diaries; air base movement logs and markings specifications. The profiles are accompanied by brief unit histories and associated markings explanations.The author is world-renown for his expertise on the Pacific air war. Never before has the Pacific Fortress been illustrated with such breadth; accuracy and detail.
