Skipper Comes Home by Robert Taylor aviation art signed by WWII B-17 Aircrew

  

Skipper', one of the longest serving B-17 Fortresses of the war, returning to Thurleigh in East Anglia on a cold afternoon in late January 1945. Depicted here, the bare metal replacement section in the tail, and several flak patches, have yet to be repainted by her busy ground crew. From the summer of 1942 until the end of hostilities, the USAAF's Eighth Air Force took the battle to enemy-occupied Europe every single day that weather permitted. The largest air unit ever to go to war, the Eighth played a vital role in the ultimate defeat of Hitler's Germany.

In the forefront of this awesome fighting force, the crews of the mighty B-17 Flying Fortress will be remembered forever. The print is individually numbered and personally signed by four highly distinguished Aircrew who flew the B-17 in combat during World War II. This powerful image represents a unique piece that is not often seen.

The original signatures are amazing making this the perfect collector's item for aviation and WWII enthusiasts. The prints in my store are hand-signed by the veterans involved in the painting so the signatures are original autographs and not reproductions. The certificate of authenticity is included. My items are guaranteed to be in perfect condition, any issues are clearly detailed in the description.
