The completely redesigned B-17E appeared just before Pearl Harbor and provided a tail-gun post in a longer fuselage, with a Sperry ball turret under the fuselage, and another power turret on top.
The original B-17 type, the Y1B-17, first flown in July 1935, was used, with some modifications, until 1939. This plane revolutionized heavy bomber design.
