قائمة مشغلي بوينگ بي-17 فلاينگ فورترس هي قائمة المستخدمين الذين طيّروا وشغـّلوا الطائرة بيونگ بي-17.

الطائرة B-17 كانت من أوائل القاذفات الثقيلة ذات المحركات الأربع التي تم انتاجها بغزارة. فبإجمالي انتاج يفوق 12,000، تأتي في المرتبة الثانية بعد القاذفة بي-24 ليبريتور. وعلى الرغم من أنها في وقت ما كانت تستخدم في جميع مسارح القتال في الحرب العالمية الثانية، إلا أنها كانت أكثر شيوعاً في مسرح العمليات الأوروبي، حيث لم يكن قصر مداها ولا الصِغر النسبي لحمولتها من القنابل، بالمقارنة بالقاذفات الثقيلة الأخرى، بالأمر الحاسم كما كان الأمر في مسرح عمليات الهادي، حيث كانت معظم القواعد الجوية الأمريكية تبعد عن بعضها البعض بآلالف الأميال.

قاذفات B-17 إسرائيلية في الجو، عام 1953

When Israel achieved statehood in 1948, the Israeli Air Force had to be assembled quickly to defend the new nation from the war it found itself almost immediately embroiled in. Among the first aircraft acquired by the Israeli Air Force were three surplus American B-17s, smuggled via أمريكا الجنوبية وتشيكوسلوڤاكيا to avoid an arms trading ban imposed by the United States. A fourth plane was abandoned due to malfunctions and confiscated by American officials. On their delivery flight from Europe, in retaliation for Egyptian bombing raids on Tel-Aviv, the aircraft were ordered to bomb King Farouk's Royal Palace in Cairo before continuing to Israel. They performed the mission (despite some of the crew fainting due to defective oxygen equipment), but caused little damage. The B-17s were generally unsuitable for the needs of the Israeli Air Force, and the nature of the conflict in which long-range bombing raids on large area targets were relatively unimportant—although the psychological impact of the raids was not lost on the enemy. The aircraft were mainly used in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, flown by 69 Squadron; they were withdrawn in 1958 after seeing minor action in the 1956 Suez Crisis.[1][2]

Captured B-17F-27-BO in Luftwaffe markings.

During World War II, after crash-landing or being forced down, approximately 40 B-17s were repaired and put back into the air by the Luftwaffe. These captured aircraft were codenamed "Dornier Do 200", given German markings and used for clandestine spy and reconnaissance missions by the Luftwaffe - most often used by the Luftwaffe unit known as KG 200, hence a likely possibility as a source for the "Do 200" codename.[4]

In an exchange with about 300 interned American crew members, nine intact B-17 were given away for free[6] to the Swedish airline SILA (Svensk Interkontinental Lufttrafik AB) to be operated by ABA (which later became part of Scandinavian Airlines System). Seven of these, three B-17F and four B-17G, were converted into 14-seat airliners by Saab Aircraft. By 1946 all were retired and replaced by the DC-4. Today, one of them is on static display at National Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton, Ohio, restored back to combat figuration.
