Approximately 12,731 Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress bombers were produced during World War II. The U.S. Army Air Forces lost around 4,750 B-17s in combat and accidents throughout the war. This substantial loss reflects the aircraft's critical role in strategic bombing missions over Europe, despite its vulnerabilities.
