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.
You can try the game free for 30 min from here:

I still have this disc. Here is a game that I wish went a farther than it did. It is quite good but a nice updated graphics would be cool. Perhaps I will load it up again and play it. Any good mods out there for this game?

No, it was never modded beyond adding new nose art.

It was a good RPG, but a terrible flight sim.
The flight modles just wern't up to scratch

My thoughts also but if a developer really put some imagination into this concept for a bomber game it could be quite good. Shame it was just patched twice then dropped.

There where faint rumors of a B17FF 3 when a new company bought the rights and made a new set of copyrights.
But that was a long time ago.

If you get in with a squadron, and fly together you just can't beat the MP. You will have some corsairs, escorting some dauntless, while some zeroes defend their base. Now this is 3 seperate squadrons mind you, all flying together online.

The sp dynamic campaign is pretty fun too.
