Description
This is released with A Welcome Return by Anthony Saunders as
THE MIGHTY EIGHTH PORTFOLIO
As the late summer sun starts to set over the peaceful English countryside, the relieved, but weary, crew of ‘Ol Gappy’ of the 379th Bomb Group, nurse their battle scarred B-17G back to their base
at Kimbolton. Close behind them, the remainder of the group, relieved to see familiar territory, make their final approaches after the gruelling mission to Meresburg on 11 September 1944. The 379th Bomb Group flew more
sorties than any other Bomb Group in the entire US Eighth Air Force, and the B-17, “Ol Gappy”‘, survived to fly a total of 157 missions during the war, probably more than any other B-17 in the Mighty Eighth.
Each print overall size: 26 1/2” wide x 19½” high
