The Flying Fortress...because it bristled with over a dozen .50 cal machine guns as defensive armament!

The Enola Gay! I know this was the nickname of one of those WW II planes, so I;ll try it as my answer!

Well the Memphis Belle and Enola Gay were labeled "Flying Fortresses" so yeah, my answer is "Flying Fortress".... or Bouncing Betty. tee hee. No, it's Flying Fortress. Boy I'm glad I worked on that Fat Man and Little Boy freelance project now, eh!?
