Subject: Night bombers interception in Western Europe in 1944 From: Guy Alcala Normal B-17 formation cruise was150-160 IAS. For max rtange about 125. That seems a bit low but still believable, given that best rate of climb is 135 IAS (per the pilot's manual). In any case, formation combat cruise was 150-160 IAS, tending towards the lower end. B-24s were at 160-180 IAS, or 155 if they had to fly with B-17s (which they hated, because the Fort was comfortable in formation down to 140 or even a bit less, where the B-24 was hanging on its props).
