The Boeing B-17 was most famous for operations in Europe but was used in every theater of war from 1941-45. The B-17 Flying Fortress Sentimental Journey is one of only five currently flying in the world out of over 12,000 manufactured for combat during WWII – and is the leading exhibition warbird in The Flying Legends of Victory Tour conducted by CAF Airbase Arizona, a non-profit flying museum.

The B-25 was developed by North American Aviation and used mainly as a low altitude strafe and skip bomber. Nearly 10,000 B-25s were produced and “Maid in the Shade” is one of 34 still flying today.

This B-25 has a local historical connection; it still uses the Goodyear brake system that was manufactured right here in Akron during WWII. Wonder how many brake pads have been used over the last 80 years?
