THE MIGHTY EIGHTH - OUTWARD BOUND - Original Oil on Canvas
by Robert Taylor
On an airfield in the heart of the English countryside, fighter pilots of the U.S. 8th Air Force start up and taxi out their P-47 Thunderbolts. Their mission, long-range bomber escort duties; their destination, Germany. Above, as their P-51 escorts begin to amass, the B-17 formation is already outward bound.
The role played by the fighter pilots of the 8th Air Force will go down in history as they helped secure air superiority in the skies over Europe.
