Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress & Shauna
- © Britt Dietz -

Airbrushed style pinup photo featuring model Shauna and the universally iconic Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress! Interestingly, the first flight of the B-17 was back in July of 1935. With thirteen .50 caliber machine guns (ANM2 Browning) and capable of holding over 8,000 pounds of bombs, this massive 36,000 pound bomber could fly over 35,000 feet into the skies with a max distance of 2,000 miles. The B-17 was powered by four Wright R-1820-97 Cyclone turbo supercharged radial engines that provided 1,200 horsepower each. Over 8,600 B-17G models were produced during the war with the B-17 finally being retired in 1968 with the Brazilian Air Force being the last to use them. Shauna is holding an authentic 48 star flag with a Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress.
