B17 - Homecoming Series
�The Hard Way�
Stricken and struggling a solitary B17 limps across the North Sea. With the Dutch coast now well behind there is only about 80 miles to go to reach the East Anglia bomber bases. Just holding altitude with one engine out - and feathered - another frozen, still smoking and with the props creating a lot of extra drag - the crew need all their energy just in keeping airborne. The B17 proved itself a rugged combat aircraft and many got home so badly damaged that they were beyond repair.
The image shows a 91st Bomb Group B17 making it�s way home �the hard way� but with moral and practical help from an RAF Spitfire who acts as shepherd and will provide a position fix should the B17 come down in the sea. A friend indeed!
Have been interested in photography since just after WW2, when film became freely available again, using Kodak Autographic equipment. Graduated, in the 50's, to 35mm and was involved in photographic work during my 17 yrs as RAF aircrew - navigator. Since retirement and migrating to Canon digital equipment have been involved with two of my sons and one grandson in a considerable amount of photographic activity, particularly composite images. Now producing digital art prints with the major emphasis on classic warbird aviation. With son, Duncan, now becoming a well-known and published wild life photographer we have started, in 2017, a new gallery reflecting Scottish sea birds - and 'feathered' flight
