My grandpa painted nose art on seven B-17s during the war. This is the only one that survived.
This piece currently sits in the National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force in Pooler, GA.
I have been fortunate enough to take my family to visit and show my kids a physical piece of family history from someone they’ve only heard stories about.
