This is a special project for me, depicting the B-17 Flying Fortress my grandfather flew during World War II. This was the Fortress he flew more than any others in completing his 30 missions with the 447th BG out of Rattlesden, England.
The art is based on one of my photos of a current B-17, taken during an air show, and then modified to represent 42-31582 Ol’ Scrapiron.
Just a few of the special points of interest include the brave crew added at their positions, and subtle exhaust staining pushed aside by air venting from the wing. Look closely at the slideshow below and you’ll see even more to appreciate.
This beautiful high-quality giclee print is mounted in a custom 12×18 matte black metal frame protected behind non-glare acrylic and acid-free foam board backing .
