It's quite a unique experience and you'll be very satisfied once you complete your first sucessful bombing run since it takes some pratice to figure out the controls for the bombadier. Don't be surprised if you develop some attachement to your crews either, it's great to see a guy survive three bombing runs or barely making it home alive only to fly another day after he gets cleared from the doc.
And if memory serves me well you can hop into an escort fighter or even the Germans and test your luck up against a formation of B-17's. And with the proper tools which can be found on some fansites you can create your own nose art and paint your plane as well.

Awesome game. Beery has a great mod for this as well if you can still find it. I have it somewhere... B-17 does have some issues that bother me though... First, the AI likes to blow up the engines by overheating them, especially in a landing pattern. This can cause you to not make it back home when otherwise you should, even though your plane is very badly shot up. The game is still a blast though.
IL21946 is impossible to beat however... (Although it does lack that beautiful B17 as a flyable plane.)
