Incredible art. The original Fuddy Duddy of the 447th Bomb Group was lost in a mid-air collision with another B-17 over Mannheim, Germany. My uncle, Andrew Struke, was a B-17 tail gunner. He survived his missions, but of the 135,000 or so American airmen who flew over Europe in WWII, about 30,000 were killed. Nearly 13,000 B-17s were built; roughly 50 still exist with only a dozen that are flyable.This striking portrait helps memorialize all B-17s and their crews.

I love this image. My Grandad flew those in WWII and there were models and pictures of them all over his house that i used to stare at as a kid. Pictures like this are sentimental to me, even when i see them for the first time, and this one seems to capture that sense of spirit that i remember so well in him when he'd talk about those old planes. thank you for sharing it. awesome work.

Hi Larry! I wanted to compliment you on this one! I saw it first hand at the OC Fair today and congratulations for your BLUE RIBBON! This B-17 of yours hanging in the Visual Arts Gallery amongst so many wonderful works of art in so many different medias has inspired me to try a bit harder with my digital works. I may enter one of mine next year. I must say it looks very nice on the web, but in person it is astonishing. Great Job again!

I remember this old girl when she was Tanker 89 with Globe Air Service. A real treasure this one is! Great Job!
