How to Fly the Boeing B-17 “Flying Fortress“ - Flight Operations (Restored 1943)

This film was produced by Boeing Aircraft & the Army Air Force during World War 2 to train Boeing B-17 “Flying Fortress“ pilots. The pilot, played by veteran actor Arthur Kennedy (“Lawrence of Arabia“), takes a rookie through takeoff, flight characteristics and procedures and landing. An entertaining animation shows the importance of proper attitude in the B-17 during takeoff, and once again, you’ll see a hands on demonstration of the proper use of all instruments and control systems during the flight. “I feel like I’m right in a B-17 cockpit when I watch this film!“ Zeno, Zeno’s Warbird Video Drive-In Don’t miss our B-17 DVD with four more videos, B-17 pilot’s manual & free Memphis Belle DVD: Visit our aviation DVD store at for the World’s largest selection of World War 2 & vintage jet aircraft aviation videos.
