. Competing against Douglas and Martin for a contract to build 200 bombers, the Boeing entry outperformed both competitors and more than met the Air Corps' expectation

Not too sure whether Douglas & Martin is the same company or two seperate ones??

The B-17 was produced in large numbers by Boeing, Douglas and Vega. By the end of the war Boeing was scaling down production to concentrate on the B-29. (Full table of production with totals and years wont copy properly). Link here:

Vega entered a partnership between three companies (Boeing, Vega, and Douglas; abbreviated BVD) to produce the B-17 Flying Fortress
