It can fly 2000 miles, and that was carrying around 10 quarter-ton bombs on the way there, and running on full throttle on the way back. One of the B-17's greatest features was that besides the Japanese Zero, it could outrun most any fighter plane of its day at a top speed of 300 miles an hour. Its massive fuel capacity complimented its four 1200 horsepower rotary engines that made that speed possible with the kind of payload the plane was. Those planes also flew across the Atlantic to England from the US, so they must be considerably more fuel efficient with a empty bombay, not flying at extreme altitudes (about 5-6 miles straight up), or not flying at high-speed.
