You're Top Poster: #47   | Information and pictures wanted for B17 website Hi I'm just writing to you to let you know about a new website i'm working on - B17-FlyingFortress.co.uk, I plan to have News on the remaining B-17s, stories from ww2, pictures videos and a lot of general information about the B-17. I was wondering if any of you would be able to help out at all with any pictures of video clips or any general information at all? I'm hoping to have enough content for the website in the next couple of months, so looking to launch it fully in september. Many thanks Vince Pettit vince@B17-flyingfortress.co.uk Last edited by b17-flyingfortress; 18-07-2008 at 03:40 PM.. |

You're Top Poster: #1 | There are thousands of pages on the web about the B-17, and lots of videos on youtube (which you could embed into your site). It really depends on what you already have, and what you intend to focus on. This is just a taster: B-17 Pilot Training Manual - Page 1

You're Top Poster: #11  | Hi Vince, I have a few shots of "Sally B" if that's of help. Though being near Duxford, I'd suspect you have quite a few. Web B17 Sally B Taxi.jpg Cheers Owen |

You're Top Poster: #2 | Hi Vince. Welcome aboard and best of luck for your endeavour. I don't have many pics of B-17s, only Sally B, Pink Lady, the AAM aircraft, and Short Bier in Utah. However, if you are planning a book review section on B-17 books, I'll have a go at some of the books on my shelf.

You're Top Poster: #2 | Don't hold your breath as I usually read RAF and C'th works but dabble in USAAF on occasion!
