EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Douglas-Long Beach B-17G-95-DL Fortress, specifically the aircraft with the registration number N207EV and manufacturing serial number 44-83785 (MSN 32426). The image, taken circa 1992, captures the timeless beauty and grandeur of this iconic World War II bomber. The Douglas B-17G Fortress, a four-engine heavy bomber produced by the Douglas Aircraft Company, was a significant military aircraft during the Second World War. Known as "Flying Fortresses," these planes were renowned for their defensive firepower and durability, making them a formidable asset in the skies. In the post-war era, many B-17s were retired from military service and found new life in the civilian aviation world. This particular B-17G, N207EV, was one of those that continued to fly, preserving a piece of history in the skies. The image of this aircraft at Long Beach, California, showcases its unique character and the enduring allure of aviation history. The intricate details of the Fortress's exterior, from its distinctive nose art to the riveted metal skin, are on full display in this photograph. The contrast between the aged, weathered metal and the clear blue sky highlights the plane's rugged yet elegant design. The propellers, wings, and engines all suggest the raw power and capability of this historic aircraft. This photograph is a testament to the enduring fascination with aviation and the role that iconic planes like the Douglas B-17G Fortress have played in shaping our history. The Tony Lovelock Collection, from which this image is taken, continues to preserve and share such captivating moments from the world of aviation.
