Description: SILENT FORTRESS by Randall ScottA MOVING TRIBUTE TO THE HEROIC BOMBER CREWS OF THE USAAFFar removed from the hostile skies of Europe this Flying Fortress now lies peacefully, its guns silent and quiet forever, in the shallow waters of the Mediterranean where it came to rest so many years ago. The men who flew this B17 and who, with countless others, braved the odds to fight for freedom in Europe against the tyranny of Nazi Germany and her Axis allies have never forgotten that fateful day; With smoking engines and badly damaged by enemy fighters and flak, they were forced to ditch their aircraft in these warm shallow seas to await rescue.This once mighty warbird now rests silently in its watery grave, a tranquil underwater world so alien to the one that it was created to fight in.The print is individually numbered and personally signed by the artist Randall Scott is an internationally acclaimed artist and a highly accomplished diver, specializing in the painting of underwater aircraft wrecks. His thought-provoking painting is without doubt an extraordinary and moving tribute to those brave young bomber crews of the USAAF.THIS PIECE CAN ALSO BE SUPPLIED FRAMED – please contact us for details.BUY WITH CONFIDENCE: We have been in business for over 20 years and our items are guaranteed to be in perfect condition, unless clearly specified otherwise.SHIPPING: Our prints are rolled in acid free tissue and shipped in large, thick shipping tubes and matted and framed pieces are 'flat packed' in substantial packaging.
