The B-17G was bristling with weapons. The Chin turret was devastating and destroyed german fighters. The usaf dream of a Flying Fortress was finally realized. P-51 pilots learned real quick don’t fly through a B-17 formation. The gunners will shoot your ass out of the sky before you can start to think WTF. German pilots where terrified attacking B-17s late in the war.

Was it any one particular aircraft or just the fact that the Allies turned out aircraft from any available factory? That alone made the NAZIs go nuts.

That companies, in some cases, changed production lines overnight to support the war effort was incredible. If we had that kind of agility today we'd be undefeatable.
