"They've All Returned"
| The Limited Edition Fine Art They've All Returned By David Lee Sample Print Size 21X27 Image Size 15.5X23 |
The Print...
"They've All Returned" was a term that wasn't spoken very often. But on the 28th of March
1944, after delivering over 400 tons of bombs on enemy soil, all of the B-17's from the 91st
Bomb Group stationed at Bassingbourn Airfield did in fact return from their mission.
"Hoosier Hot Shot" (tail number 42-38006), which began service on January 8th 1944, and
"Bunky" (tail number 42-31542), which started service on March 12th, 1944 were two of the
aircraft assigned to Bassingbourn Airfield, England. Later both aircraft were lost to the war.
"Hoosier Hot Shot" was lost over Kassel, Germany on April 19th, 1944 and "Bunky" over
South West Germany July 19th, 1944. Strange that both airplanes that had once returned
together were later lost, each on the 19th of the month...
The Aircraft...
Built by the Boeing Aircraft Company, the B-17 went through many development changes as
new technology and aircrew requirements changed. Nicknamed the "Flying Fortress"
because of the eleven, .50 caliber machine guns mounted on the aircraft, the B-17 could
withstand a tremendous amount of damage and still bring her crew home. The B-17 was 74
feet 3.9 inches long and had a wing span of over 103 feet. Powered by four Wright R-1820-97
Cyclone engines, it had a top speed of 302 miles per hour and ceiling of 36,400 feet. The
B-17 had a crew of ten men.
