Capital Air Race set to draw 200,000 By Keith J Fernandez - Organizers estimate that about 200,000 spectators will attend the opening round of this year's Red Bull Air Race Championship in Abu Dhabi, where 15 of the world's top pilots will vie for starter points glory.

Consolidated LB-30 Liberators from Aviation Trivia of the Day by JP Santiago | Initially deemed unsuitable as night bombers by the RAF, the first Consolidated LB-30 Liberators were found with their long range to be ideal in the transport role.

World War II: A Fortress in the Sky from About.com Military History | February 3, 1945 - Over 1,000 B-17 Flying Fortresses (right) bomb Berlin as part of Operation Thunderclap. Developed in 1934, the B-17 entered service four years later. Though it saw service in most theaters of World War II, the B-17 is best remembered for its role in the Combined Bomber Offensive against Germany. Flying with the Eighth and Fifteenth Air Forces, B-17 formations suffered heavy losses in 1943 as they were forced to conduct missions unescorted. With the arrival of the P-51 Mustang and drop tank-equipped P-47 Thunderbolts, losses dropped dramatically as large groups of B-17s struck targets deep in Germany. Retired from frontline service after the war, the Flying Fortress became one of the icons of the war in Europe. Share your thoughts on the B-17.
