During World War II, the B-17 Flying Fortress was designed to dominate the skies with heavy defensive firepower. With multiple machine guns covering nearly every angle, many German pilots believed attacking these bombers head-on was nearly impossible.
But combat quickly revealed unexpected limitations. This documentary explores how real battlefield experience exposed weaknesses in early bomber defense systems — and how engineers transformed those lessons into groundbreaking improvements that saved thousands of aircrew lives.
From experimental gunship concepts to the famous chin-turret upgrade, this story shows how innovation often emerges from failure, reshaping air combat strategy and changing the course of the air war over Europe.
