An outstanding two print set paying tribute to the Bomber crews who flew the long and arduous Pacific missions
VALOR IN THE PACIFIC
By Robert Taylor
B-29s of the 499th Bomb Group, 73rd Wing of the 20th Air Force return to base after a long range bombing mission during the final stages of the War in the Pacific. After a daylight raid on Tokyo, and showing all the telltale signs of combat over the target, the Wing of the world’s largest and fastest ever piston-engined bombers make their long over-water journey home, still many hours away at Saipan Island. At the extremity of their range, “little friends,” very-long-range P-51 Mustang escort fighters, peel off and head for home – leaving the mighty bombers to fend for themselves.
