Not so. The Fortress 1 bombers were a bit of a disaster and were out of service in Europe by the time the US decided to join WW2. 4 later went to the Middle East, the rest to Benbecula.

The RAF also used the Fortress II with Coastal Command - and a couple of squadrons of Fortress IIIs on ECM duties.
