Inspired by the B-17 Texas Raiders that I was fortunate enough to photograph in action during the 2010 Gathering of Fortresses at Willow Run (Detroit). The plane was tragically lost in a mid-air collision during an air show in November of 2022, and I immediately began this project in honor of the lost planes and persons in that sad incident.
Just a few of the special points of interest include a nice reproduction of the Texas Raiders nose art as it was when I saw her (it was repainted a few years afterward), fine detail on the metal skin, powerful engines and landing gear. 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 10×30 matte black metal frame protected behind non-glare acrylic and acid-free foam board backing .
