Still, the Air Corps ordered 13 more B-17s for further evaluation, which were introduced into service in 1938.

It was a relatively fast, high-flying, long-range bomber with heavy defensive armament at the expense of bomb load. It also developed a reputation for toughness based upon stories and photos of badly damaged B-17s safely returning to base. The B-17 saw early action in the <a href="/wiki/Pacific_Ocean_theater_of_World_War_II" title="Pacific Ocean theater of World War II">Pacific War</a>, where it conducted air raids against Japanese shipping and airfields.<a href="#cite_note-6">[6]</a> But it was primarily employed by the USAAF in the <a href="/wiki/Day_bomber" title="Day bomber">daylight</a> component of the Allied <a href="/wiki/Strategic_bombing_during_World_War_II" title="Strategic bombing during World War II">strategic bombing campaign</a> over Europe, complementing <a href="/wiki/RAF_Bomber_Command" title="RAF Bomber Command">RAF Bomber Command</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Night_bomber" title="Night bomber">night bombers</a> in attacking German industrial, military and civilian targets.<a href="#cite_note-Carey_Pointblank-7">[7]</a> Of the roughly 1.5 million tons of bombs dropped on <a href="/wiki/Nazi_Germany" title="Nazi Germany">Nazi Germany</a> and its occupied territories by Allied aircraft, over 640,000 tons (42.6%) were dropped from B-17s.<a href="#cite_note-Yenne.p46-8">[8]</a> At the start of 2024, <a href="/wiki/List_of_surviving_Boeing_B-17_Flying_Fortresses" title="List of surviving Boeing B-17 Flying Fortresses">six aircraft</a> remain in flying condition.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] About 50 survive in storage or are on static display, the oldest of which is <a href="/wiki/The_Swoose" title="The Swoose">The Swoose</a>, a B-17D which was flown in combat in the Pacific on the first day of the United States' involvement in World War II.

But because the bombers could not <a href="/wiki/Air_combat_manoeuvring" title="Air combat manoeuvring">maneuver</a> when attacked by fighters and needed to be flown straight and level during their final bomb run, individual aircraft struggled to fend off a direct attack.

However, the use of this rigid formation meant that individual aircraft could not engage in evasive maneuvers: they had to fly constantly in a straight line, which made them vulnerable to German flak.

In a 1943 <a href="/wiki/Consolidated_Aircraft" title="Consolidated Aircraft">Consolidated Aircraft</a> poll of 2,500 men in cities where Consolidated advertisements had been run in newspapers, 73% had heard of the B-24 and 90% knew of the B-17.<a href="#cite_note-Johnsen_2006-148">[143]</a> After the first Y1B-17s were delivered to the Army Air Corps 2nd Bombardment Group, they were used on flights to promote their long range and navigational capabilities. In January 1938, group commander <a href="/wiki/Colonel_(United_States)" title="Colonel (United States)">Colonel</a> <a href="/wiki/Robert_Olds" title="Robert Olds">Robert Olds</a> flew a Y1B-17 from the U.S. east coast to the west coast, setting a transcontinental record of 13 hours 27 minutes. He also broke the west-to-east coast record on the return trip, averaging 245 mph (394 km/h) in 11 hours 1 minute.<a href="#cite_note-Zamzow-186">[181]</a> Six bombers of the 2nd Bombardment Group took off from <a href="/wiki/Langley_Field" class="mw-redirect" title="Langley Field">Langley Field</a> on 15 February 1938 as part of a goodwill flight to <a href="/wiki/Buenos_Aires" title="Buenos Aires">Buenos Aires, Argentina</a>.

British combat experience with the B-17 was also showing the need for a tail gunner. Boeing was not willing to add a turret because they did not want to disrupt the clean aerodynamics. The inadequate directional stability exposed by two spin incidents and a crash, brought about a redesigned vertical stabilizer and dorsal fin. A compromise for the tail turret resulted in handheld tail guns. The combination created a successful design.
