Dear friends, today marks the beginning of a new era in which we duplicate our Developer Diaries on Steam. There's a lot to tell you!
TBDs on the flight deck of USS Enterprise during the battle of Midway
The early-war B-17s are nowhere near as well documented as the F and G variants that came later, and the aircraft itself is extraordinarily complex. We simply wouldn't be able to do this without the excellent documentation and expert consultation provided by Hangar Thirteen — in particular, Mr. Gerad Blume.
Folks at https://hangarthirteen.org/ are currently rebuilding a B-17F named Lucky Thirteen, which (once complete) will be the only surviving aircraft to have taken part in the pivotal campaigns against Schweinfurt in the counter-air campaign in the summer of 1943. This ambitious project is aiming to achieve the highest accuracy standard of any B-17 ever attempted. As a result, it’s a long and costly process — not unlike building the real thing. Please consider contributing to their effort to bring this beautiful machine back to life.
