Description
Sepia tint photo of the underside of the wing of a B-17G, showing the insignia of the United States Air Force, formerly the Army Air Corps. Shot at the Wings Over Houston Air Show, Houston, Texas, October 26, 2013. Shows rivets, construction of the wing, insignia, a portion of the tail, and a cloudless sky. Simple signed image that could be considered an abstract or minimalism.
This B-17 model, the B-17G, was used by the following squadrons of the 8th Air Force: 508, 509. 510, and 511. Posted for Veterans Day in memory of my father, who flew 31 missions on the B-17G, 8th Air Force, 510th Squadron. He returned home unscathed and lived to be 90. Posted in honor of all who have served.
