This is a dramatic aviation art print by Heinz Krebs of B-17F "Wild Children", a 390th BG aircraft returning to base at Framlingham, England after her crew has completed their tour of combat following another dangerous mission deep into the heart of Germany. Having survived this trip in one piece and with no casualties, her crew is looking forward to one last landing before being shipped back to the United States. Their odds of surviving these gruelling combat tours were meager, to say the least. They were lucky and they knew it. Overwhelmed with the feeling of elation the skipper takes the Fort within feet of the deck, past Framlingham castle, their visual checkpoint for the final approach into the airfield during so many return flights.

Major General JOHN S. WARNER (Pilot)
Colonel ROGER STERR (Co-Pilot)
Captain JIM KEELAN (Navigator)
Lieutenant Colonel ORRIE THOMPSON (Bombardier)
Technical Sergeant ANDREW ANZANOS (Engineer/Top Gunner)
