Why the B-17 Was Almost Impossible to Kill — During World War II, German pilots attacked the American B-17 Flying Fortress again and again, expecting it to fall like any other bomber. But what they believed was wrong.

The B-17 became famous for surviving brutal punishment over Europe: flak bursts, cannon fire, dead engines, shredded wings, damaged tails, and wounded crews still fighting to bring the aircraft home. This WWII Short explores why the Flying Fortress was so difficult to destroy, how its defensive formations changed aerial combat, and why German pilots learned to respect one of America’s most legendary bombers.
