About Carl Peterson

Carl Peterson served during World War II, when the men of the United States Army Air Forces carried out one of the largest and most dangerous aerial campaigns in military history.

"Ruby's Fortress" honors the crews of the legendary Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress, the aircraft that became a symbol of American determination and strategic air power during the war. Flying from bases throughout England and other Allied locations, B-17 crews routinely faced anti-aircraft fire, enemy fighters, severe weather, and long combat missions over occupied Europe.

The Flying Fortress earned its reputation through remarkable durability, often bringing heavily damaged aircraft and crews safely home despite sustaining extensive battle damage. The courage and sacrifice of B-17 crews became one of the defining stories of the Allied air war.

Today, memorabilia associated with the B-17 Flying Fortress, Army Air Forces bomber crews, strategic bombing operations, and World War II aviation history remains highly sought after by collectors throughout the world.
