- HISTORY ASPECTS:
- The B-17 Flying Fortress Swamp Fire was a formidable heavy bomber that played a significant role in World War II. This particular aircraft, with its iconic nose art of a fiery alligator, was assigned to the 524th Bomb Squadron of the 379th Bomb Group and flew numerous missions over enemy territory during the war.
- In April 1944, Swamp Fire took part in the bombing raid on the German city of Schweinfurt, where it encountered heavy anti-aircraft fire and enemy fighter attacks. Despite sustaining damage, the crew managed to complete their mission and return safely to base. The aircraft continued to fly missions throughout the war and ultimately survived the conflict, although it was eventually scrapped in 1946.
- This 1:200 scale model of the B-17 Flying Fortress Swamp Fire is a faithful replica of the original aircraft, including its distinctive nose art. It captures the essence of this iconic bomber, which played a critical role in the Allied victory in World War II. Whether you are a collector, historian, or aviation enthusiast, this model is a must-have addition to your collection.
