The B 17 and B 24 were the mainstays of the American bombing attacks on Germany in WW 2. We would literally send over hundreds of B24s at a time and it could carry up to 8,000 lbs of bombs, although it was usually loaded with ten 500 lbs bombs so it would have a longer range. It could take an incredible amount of damage and it had multiple .50 M2 machinegun positions to defend itself. All in all, it was a great plane for its time.
