B-17 Flying Fortress Added to Classic Military Aircraft Clothing Range

B-17 Flying Fortress Added to Classic Military Aircraft Clothing Range

After a protracted design evolution, I have added the B-17G Flying Fortress to the Classic Military Aircraft range.

There are 2 versions of the B-17 to choose from

• Green coloured 94th bomb group
• Bare metal 100th bomb group

The B-17G was the final version of Flying Fortress which incorporated all the improvements from earlier models and boasted 13 guns for defence against fighters.

B-17s were used by the USAAF as a strategic daytime bomber to complement the night time RAF Bomber Command bombing raids.

94th Bomb Group

The 94th Bomb Group were based at Rougham and the 100th Bomb Group at Thorpe Abbotts and were part of the 8th Air Force.

100th Bomb Group

The 100th Bomb Group earned the nickname ‘The Bloody Hundredth’ after heavy losses during several missions over Germany.

B-17G Available on Full Range of Embroidered Products

The B-17G is available on the full range of clothing, hats and bags, a selection of which are shown below.

The B-17 design is part of our extremely popular personalised range where you can change the base aircraft design to a squadron with markings of your choice along with personalised wording above and/or below the design.
