How Many B17s Are Registered Withthe Faa

The Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress is an American 4-engine heavy bomber used past the United States Army Air Forces and other Allied air forces during World War Ii. Of the 12,731 shipping built, approximately 4,735 were lost during the State of war. Those that had flown in combat missions and survived the War were later sent to boneyards, such as those at Walnut Ridge and Kingman, for smelting. Consequently, only half-dozen planes that survive today – 40-3097, 41-2446, 41-24485, 42-32076, 44-6393 and 44-8846 – claim gainsay provenance. The majority of survivors are planes that were built too late to come across active service and so were used through the 1950s and 1960s in both military and noncombatant capacities. Many surviving examples are painted to represent actual planes that flew in gainsay. Today, 46 planes survive in consummate course, x of which are airworthy, and 39 of which reside in the United States.
