Most B-17 Flying Fortress paintings show them in combat over Hitler's Europe, but  Flying Fortresses played a role in the Pacific, too. Here we see two B-17Es of the 13th Air Force, 98th Squadron - "Galloping Gus" and "Typhoon McGoon II" - hooking it  home after a bombing mission against Japanese positions in New Guinea. Nakajima Rufe floatplanes rise to engage them, but prove to be no match for the Fortress gunners. 23"x 19" aviation art print. .....#0008515

On December 6, 1941, Pilot Earl Cooper, navigator John "Davy" Crockett and their crewmates flew their B-17C Flying Fortress to the Philippines by way of Oahu, Hawaii. But arriving in Hawaii on the morning of December 7, the unarmed B-17 met Japanese Zeros. After evasive measures and the loss of one engine, they flew over the destroyed Hickham Field then finally belly-landed at Wheeler Field, flying on  fumes. 16"x 11½" limited edition aviation art print is signed and numbered by the artist. .....#0073003

This portrayal of the Me 163 Komet perfectly captures the function of this tiny interceptor. Rocketing up through the formation of B-17s at almost three times their speed, the Komet makes its strike and flashes into the distance before the gunners have time to react.

A single Flying Fortress finds itself all alone in enemy skies, damaged  by flak during its bomb run. One engine has been shut down, control surfaces are  shredded and there are wounded airmen aboard. Struggling to maintain altitude, the B-17 is attacked by two Me 109s bent upon its destruction. Fighters from the 361st Fighter Group/375th Fighter Squadron enter the fray, destroying one of the attackers and driving off his wingman. The journey home will be uneventful, now that  the injured crew has its own private escort of the determined Little Friends.
