    Description

    OUT OF FUEL AND SAFELY HOME
    by Robert Taylor
    Damaged by flak and enemy fighters, and almost out of fuel, after a grueling eight hour mission the pilot of this B-17 Fortress makes a forced landing in the safety of an English cornfield. A pair of P-51 Mustangs that have escorted the damaged aircraft back across the North Sea, and peel off as they see their charge safely back on friendly soil.

    This is one of my favorite paintings and is a scene that must have happened hundreds of times during WWII. P-51 Mustangs try and help a struggling B-17 back to base and although it doesn't quite make it to the runway, the crew are able to get it down just short, and all of them will live to fight another day.

    autographs make this a classic piece.
    Please note:
    The prints in my store are hand-signed by the veterans involved in the painting so the signatures are original autographs and not reproductions.
    The certificate of authenticity is always included.
    CONDITION:
    My listings are guaranteed to be in perfect condition unless it is clearly specified otherwise in the description.

    As a former aviation art retailer I have shipped countless prints over the years. My prints are rolled in acid free tissue and shipped in heavy duty tubes, and the shipping is insured and guaranteed.
    If you are interested in more than one item I will always do my best to combine the shipping to save costs – please just ask.
