Summary

Tells the remarkable story of the legendary B-17 Flying Fortress that survived 25 bombing runs through the flak and fighter-filled skies over the Third Reich during World War II. B-17 crews conducted dangerous daylight raids without fighter escorts. Surviving the loss of a total of nine engines, both wings, both landing gear and two tails, she was the first to complete 25 combat missions and keep her entire crew alive - her trail of invincibility made her famous. Also includes four short films about the B-17 bomber.
