Description

B-17 Flying Fortress: The Mighty 8th is the second flight sim featuring the famous WWII bomber.

You can take control over every of 16 positions available in this plane: Pilot, Gunner, Bomber or communications officer. You can also fly one of the escort planes like P-38 Lightning, P-51 Mustang and P-47 Thunderbolt as well as German defense planes like the Bf 109, FW 190, Bf 110 or the ME 262.

The flight model is very accurate, as is the graphics and sounds used to represent plane damage.
