Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress is the first American all-metal heavy four-engine bomber.
The aircraft was designed in 1934 as part of a competition to create a coastal bomber operating against ships. A year later, the Boeing 299 prototype was created, equipped with Pratt & Whitney 750 hp engines, the first flight of which took place on July 28 of the same year. Subsequent aircraft had Wright Cyclone 1200 hp engines. p.
