B-17F 42-3167
a fine art print by
Artist Jim Laurier’s
hyper-realistic profile depicts the B-17 “Ye Olde Pub” as it appeared
at the start of December 20, 1943. During that day’s mission to Bremen,
“Ye Olde Pub” was heavily-damaged by flak and fighters. In an
act of mercy, Luftwaffe ace Franz Stigler spared the resilient bomber, allowing
for its return to England. “Ye Olde Pub” was repaired by April
1944 and ferried back to America, its service complete.
