Description
�Quiet before the Storm�
A time for quiet reflection as the waist gunner watches over a B17 formation heading out in the early daylight for another WW2 mission over Germany. An activity that went on day after day through the long months of 1943-1945. With some aircraft still finished in olive-drab putting the date at early 1944 the image is typical of the heavy bomber formations of the time.

I'll second that! Great work - feel the tension despite the beautiful dawn light.

Thank you - tried to point up the inherent savagery of the a/c and the quiet colours of the sky-scape - nice to be noticed!!
