FlyPast Magazine August 2017 Zurück Ausgabe

The brand new issue of FlyPast features one of Britain’s best-loved warbirds as its cover star, Duxford-based Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress ‘Sally B’. In an exclusive interview, editor Chris Gilson speaks to Elly Sallingboe, the woman behind the extraordinary fame of this airshow favourite – now the only flying B-17 in Europe. This issue also pays tribute to the Mighty Eighth – we look back on the USAAF deployment to the UK during World War Two with a series of exclusive features.

Plus, we bring you news of a Mosquito that’s moving to a new home in the UK.
