Summaries

Flying the EAA's restored B-17 Flying Fortress bomber "Aluminum Overcast".

Over 12,000 B-17 Flying Fortress 4-engine bombers were built during World War II. Today only about a dozen are in flying condition. This documentary showcases one of these restored historic machines, the Experimental Aircraft Association's "Aluminum Overcast". Archive footage, combined with recent interviews of pilots and gunners who flew the B-17 in combat, present an overview of a typical WW2 bomber mission. The history and restoration of the Aluminum Overcast aircraft is described. And throughout, air-to-air and mount-camera footage illustrate the beauty of the restored "Aluminum Overcast" in all aspects of flight.—yortsnave
