SIZE: 24 by 33 inches. SIGNATURES: Hand-signed and numbered in pencil by the artist Robert Taylor and 2 B-17 pilots.

The Certificate of Authenticity is included. The 34h Bomb Group's B-17 Fortresses return to Mendelsham following a raid over Germany, April 1945. Copilot of "Queenie" briefs the crew chief while another B-17 taxies in.

Above, the last plane home makes his final approach, streaming vapor from a badly overheating engine. The fickle English weather greets the returning airmen with a mixture of brilliant Spring sunshine and passing April showers.

The drama of B-17s of the 34th Bomb Group returning from a raid in the final weeks of the war is skillfully portrayed against one of Robert Taylor's dramatic English skies. In a painting packed with atmosphere and highly detailed content, this magnificent image not only brings to life the glorious Flying Fortresses of the USAAF, but also the lives of the brave young men who flew them, such as the two 34th Bomb Group skippers who signed each and every print. Never framed, stored flat in a non-smoking, climate-controlled environment. Check my feedback - it's excellent. I ask for the same consideration from you.

I will pack your print very carefully so it arrives undamaged.
