Certificate of Authenticity is included. My personal favorite of Robert Taylor's many B-17 depictions. Briefing at 0500 hours on the morning of 14 October 1943 brought the crews of the 92nd Bomb Group news they didn't want to hear: It's Schweinfurt again! " The same message was being repeated in USAAF bomb group briefing rooms all over eastern England in the early hours of what was to become forever known as "Black Thursday. This superb piece depicts Colonel Budd Peaslee's B-17 Equipose, flown by lead pilot Kemp Maclaughlin, leading the Fortresses of the 92nd Bomb Group en-route to the vital ball-bearing factories at Schweinfurt on 14 October 1943.

High over Germany, beyond the range of Allied fighter cover, the unprotected B-17s come under relentless attack from enemy fighters. Undeterred, the valiant crews press on to the target, their relentless determination and courage on that "Black Thursday" forever etched into aviation folklore. 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.
