The image is a photograph of an old military aircraft in flight. The aircraft is a B-17 Flying Fortress, a twin-engine propeller bomber from the United States Air Force. It is painted in a dark brown color with a white star on the tail and the number 9D on the side. The wings are swept back and the nose is pointed upwards. The propellers are large and pointed, and the aircraft appears to be in mid-flight. The background is a clear blue sky. The image is taken from a low angle, looking up at the aircraft.
