Published from the artist's
original work.

On a trip to Garmisch, Germany, Bill Phillips and his wife Kristi
discovered a war memorial on a hillside. Surrounding the
monument were framed photographs of local young men who
had been killed in World War II. Bill was particularly moved by
one photograph of a fresh-faced boy, his arms around a cow.
“This was no jack-booted Nazi. This was a farm kid who loved
his home and went off to fight for it, just as American boys had
done.”

The boy’s story began to develop in Bill’s imagination: the
young German had gone into the Luftwaffe and learned to fly
fighter jets. One day, early in the war, the boy and a friend had
buzzed the home valley in their BF-109s. “I guess all pilots have
done that, in every country,” says Bill. “The pride of flight is
universal.” Bill checked with a German pilot, who said the
practice was strictly verboten — “…but of course we did it.”
