History of the B-17
Sentimental Journey
Introduced by Boeing in April
1938, the B-17 Sentimental Journey
was a four-engine heavy bomber
used in World War II. The prototype
crashed and Boeing lost its contract
with the US Army Air Corps (USAAC)
but still impressed the USAAC
enough that thirteen B-17s were
ordered. Initially, it was used for
daylight precision strategic bombing
campaign against German targets.
640,000 tons of bombs were
dropped by the said aircraft on
Germany. It was later used in raids
against Japanese shipping and
airfields, too. It was then developed
into the Boeing 307 commercial
transport aircraft.
The Sentimental Journey has
been based at Falcon Airfield,
Arizona ever since it was donated in
1978 to the Commemorative Air
Force. It is regularly flown at air
shows. The nickname came from a
popular 1945 song by Doris Day. It
was once acquired and converted
into a firefighter by the Aero Union
Corporation of Chico, California.
