Reviewer: Midwest Book Review from Oregon, WI USA

B-17 Flying Legend is the impressively presented collector's edition DVD about the majestic series of military airplanes known as the B-17. 12,731 were built; over 4,700 were lost in combat; today only 13 still fly. An extraordinary documentary capturing the impressive history of these magnificent machines (and the courageous men who flew them across European skies during World War II), B-17 Flying Legend includes a commentary track by the filmmakers; the original 1944 "Memphis Belle" documentary; photo galleries with over 200 historical photographs; additional interviews; footage of the last flying B-17s; a B-17 virtual tour; and pilots' notes. B-17 Flying Legend is a "must" for military aviation history buffs. 211 minutes, in black-and-white - with some color footage.
