OUTWARD BOUND
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.
In recognition of their role, this famous print is personally signed by SIX prestigious Aces who flew with the 8th during WWII.. find out who signed it HERE!

COMING HOME
A flak damaged B-17 Fortress sheds debris as it struggles to keep up with the Group; B-24 Liberators have joined the formation as they approach the Belgian coast, and a P-51, low on fuel, provides escort for the North Sea crossing. The U.S. 8th Air Force, its mission almost complete, is coming home.
In three years of continual combat, the bomber crews of the USAAF faced enormous risks on a daily basis. They often flew in atrocious weather, ran the gauntlet of the Luftwaffe fighter Aces, and yet still they pressed on through all the flak that anti-aircraft gunners could throw up at them.
In tribute to these brave airmen, this atmospheric piece was signed for posterity by SIX famous 8th Air Force bomber crew... find out more HERE!
