This video takes you inside the EAA's B-17 Flying Fortress Aluminum Overcast. See the magnificent restoration and find out what it is like to fly this big four-engine bomber. Features extensive camera mount footage and in cockpit flight video. From Pearl Harbor to the end of the war, the Boeing B-17 "Flying Fortress" was one of the most widely-recognized airplanes in the allied arsenal. The B-17's role in the European Theater and reputation for withstanding damage have resulted in a legend. More than 12,000 were built, but only a handful are airworthy today.  Take a rare glimpse into this fantastic airplane through extensive use of mount camera footage and air-to-air photography.

EAA AirVenture Oshkosh is an annual gathering of aviation enthusiasts held each summer at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, United States.

The show lasts a week, usually beginning on the last Monday in July. During the gathering, the airport's control tower is the busiest in the world.
