	B-17 Flying Fortress - Northstar Gallery
		The U.S. 8th Air Force engaged in precision daylight bombing; however, that left the B-17 bombers vulnerable to the Luftwaffe for most of their flights to and from the target since the Allies did not yet have fighter escorts with a range to accompany the bombers beyond German borders.
		Coupled with a loss of 24 bombers and 200 men from a strike on Regensburg that same day, this was a heavy blow to the 8th Air Force.
		B17’s had traditionally flown in wings of 18 bombers, now the B-17s were to fly in wings of 36, with each wing comprised of three flights of 12 B17s flying in close formation.

		It was tried briefly as a bomber over North Vietnam, but its main use in Vietnam was as a tanker, and as an electronics jamming platform until replaced by the EA6A and EA6B as a jammer, and KA-6 and S-3 as a tanker.
		Compared to newer bombers, it is capable of hauling a spare crew for long missions, where the 2 guys in a B-2 or 4 in a B-1 are pretty stuck to their seats for the duration of the mission.
		But as a medium bomber, the F-111 was unrivaled even in the 90s until the advent of the somewhat smaller F-15E (which is basically a pumped F-4 Phantom).

		The Transportation Plan was carried out by more than 11,000 fighters and bombers (in comparison to the Luftwaffe's defense of 400 aircraft) which dropped 195,000 tons of bombs during more than 200,000 sorties or runs.
		Hollywood and other prop designers were also shipped to England where they created rubber and wood tanks, bombers, trucks, boats, ships, and other military vehicles, so that the Germans would over-estimate the amount of Allied troops and have to spread out their forces.
		The Germans still could not see the force because Allied bombers had destroyed many radar stations and dropped metallic ribbons in the air that made the few German radar signals bounce around like an echo, destroying their reliability.
