B-17 Flying Fortress

Success in B-17 revolves around taking care of and learning
from your crew. Take time to notice how the computer-controlled
gunners aim for the fast moving fighters and try to learn from
their techniques. When you are being attacked, use Z and X to
change to an enemy fighter, then SHIFT+F1 to see the
battle from the fighter pilot's view.

Make regular checks on the outside view to check your engines;
if your co-pilot has been hit you don't get any warning.
Fuel leaks can be critical to the success of a mission. If
necessary you need to turn off an engine or two and drop out
of formation to conserve fuel. If your engines are on fire
point the nose at the ground and try diving at between 350-400 mph
this is useful in later levels when one fire extinguisher per
engine isn't enough.

Make regular checks to ensure the crew is OK and that the guns
aren't jammed - it's easy to miss messages in the heat of combat.
Keep at least one pilot healthy because the plane can end up in a
spin if it's in a turn when the pilot is hit, giving little
time to bail out.

Make the radio operator send a MayDay message to improve
your chances of survival when you're bailing out over the channel.
Landing an engineless, bullet-ridden, flame-scorched B-17 after
a mission is risky and difficult.
