Skipper - Home at Last by Robert Taylor Features a B-17 of the 306th BG shortly after returning to base.
There is a brief moment of calm as B-17 ‘Skipper’ of the 367th Squadron, 306th Bomb Group returns to base at Thurleigh in East Anglia after another gruelling daytime mission over occupied Europe in January of 1945. One of the longest-serving Flying Fortresses of the war, ‘Skipper’ completed over 100 combat missions despite suffering from battle damage in late 1944.
Robert’s superb graphite edition acts as a lasting tribute to the brave aircrew of the USAAF who flew the mighty B-17 in combat during WWII.
Robert Taylor's limited edition, Skipper - Home at Last, is signed by four prominent veterans who flew Flying Fortresses in combat over Europe: Brigadier General J. KEMP MCLAUGHLIN - Pilot / 92nd BG / Lead pilot on the Schweinfurt raid.
Captain ROBERT SHOENS - Pilot / 100th BG / Took part in the first USAAF daylight mission to Berlin.
Lieutenant Colonel ROBERT KLEYLA - Bombardier / 91st BG / Flew some of the first 8th AF missions of the war.
