Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress by Uncle T

FOR VERSION 1.3! My second and improved take on the iconic Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress.

It's an approximation, not a 1:1 replica.

This G-version has the short, round Cheyenne tail turret. It has a crew of 10 and is armed with 13 .50 calibre M2 Browning machine guns in 9 positions. It also carries 16 x 500 lb bombs (for a short range mission). Take-off speed is quite high at about 180 kph. It's a little nose heavy under 300 kph with the payload, so be careful after take-off.

Seats in order are:

1. pilot
2. co-pilot
3. bombardier/chin turret gunner
4. navigator/nose gunner x 2
5. dorsal turret gunner
6. radio operator/dorsal upwards gunner
7. ball turret gunner
8. starboard waist gunner
9. port waist gunner
10. tail turret gunner.
