Product Description:
Its full potential still not explored, the model 299 crashed at Wright Field on 30 October 1935 on takeoff, with the control locks inadvertently engaged. Much as the crash of the new XP-38 Lightning several years later did not kill that promising program, so did the Flying Fortress outlive the demise of the prototype.
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating: - Typical of the Tech Volumes
This whole series is spotty. Frankly, I recommend them only to those who have a pretty good understanding of the aircraft covered. These volumes, and this is typical of them, tend to focus on little known aspects of the aircraft. To get the most from them, they presupose some knowledge of the basic aircraft. Even at this, they are somewhat disappointing. They are spotty in coverage of the details and the photographic reproduction is abysmal.
