描述
Remember the Nine-O-Nine, Remember its pilots, Remember its history, Remember its crew, Remember its existance, That we may never forget.

The B-17 was built in the wake of germany's rearmament when the US realised it had to modernize its obsolete army air corps, The B-17 was intended as a long range bomber that would fly without fighter escorts, and relied upon its many machinegun emplacements to defend itself.

The airplane, first called YB-17 had a rough start, the prototype that boeing intended to win the design contract with crashed, killing the pilot and destroying the plane, this caused boeing to be disqualified for the bomber contract, however the military was still impressed by the plane's initial performance that it placed an order for multiple prototypes.

After the military realised that the Douglas's B-18's were underperforming and too slow to build they placed multiple orders for the B-17 as a heavy bomber, marking the start of many versions of this airplane.

B-17G Nine-O-Nine.

Nine-O-Nine was a Boeing B-17G-30-BO Flying Fortress heavy bomber, of the 323rd Bomb Squadron, 91st Bomb Group, that completed 140 combat missions during World War II, believed to be the Eighth Air Force record for most missions, without loss to the crews that flew it.

Its Nose art resembles a revolutionary war soldier on a bomb holding a binocular.

The original Nine-O-Nine was scrapped however, and the Aircraft that crashed on October 2 was a repainted B-17G that was saved from the scrapyard, after it had been used four a couple of years as a test target for nuclear warheads.

This aircraft, operated by the Collings Foundation, crashed at Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks, Connecticut, on October 2, 2019. killing seven, and injuring the rest of its crew.

Inacurate killmarks ?

Because i know ill get this question: theyre luftwaffe roundels, because steam mods are dumb and cant even distinguish a blurred out KMS flag let alone contextualise killmarks, so you'll have to make do with Luftwaffe roundels.

About this asset

This airplane features custom sound effects, rotating propellers, smoke effects, retracteable landing gear and taildragging landing

8.2k triangles with all submeshes combined, 1024x1024 textures with texture sharing thanks to LSM.

Package includes both vehicle and ploppable version

Requires Vehicle effects mod and FlipXZ mod.

Why is it a building and not a prop ? because it uses submeshes and props cant have submeshes, and without these submeshes the aircraft would not look nearly as good.

I'm not sure if you're aware, but the B-17 that has replaced Nine-oh-nine, the "Shady Lady", is also the same exact B-17 used in the fourth James Bond film "Thunderball". It was used to pick up 007 and Domino with a Fulton Skyhook at the end of the movie. =^x^=

Rest in peace. I'm lucky I got to see it in person.

Could you make a "park" of this model so we could put it in a park, like you see here in America?

What a beauty, which is weird because it's a death machine... history, science & tech are weird.

May she be remembered indeed, as all her sisters and those who fought the last honourable war on this planet (we could put the Zapatista or YPG in here, but that's a completely different story).

As a European – and especially someone with at least a few drops of German blood in them – I can just nod to this mod and the story behind it. If it wasn't for those brave men & women back then, the world would have looked VERY different today. Let this be a little bookmark to the past what it means to live in a free society (at least those of us who are lucky enough to do so).


PS. also a big thx for the Huey, it was the first heli that got me interested in these awesome machines. So a Huey will always be my role model for helicopter.

Alright, i will probably have to remove the ploppable version from this upload and reupload it then since that is what breaks effects on vehicles. thanks for reporting.
