Скачать или смотреть The Dark Story of WWII's Flying Fortress: B-17 Bomber

Once hailed as the ultimate symbol of American air power, the B-17 Flying Fortress was more than just a bomber — it was the backbone of the Allied strategic bombing campaign, a machine that defined how wars would be fought for generations to come. From revolutionary defensive armament to mass production miracles, the B-17 shaped military aviation, industrial mobilization, and the American war effort. But behind the glory was a brutal reality of inadequate armor, horrific casualty rates, and a sixty percent chance of death or capture that turned this "fortress" into a flying coffin for tens of thousands of young airmen. This video explores the dark story hidden inside the legend of the Flying Fortress — how one of America's most iconic warplanes rose to become the face of Allied victory, and how the very aircraft that symbolized invincibility became a death sentence for the boys trapped inside. A story of courage, mythology, and tragedy — told through the brutal truth of WWII's deadliest bomber.
