Description

It was their final mission and intelligence had told Chuck Yeager and Bud Anderson that their bomber escort mission would be uneventful, with no resistance expected from the Luftwaffe, so the two left formation and took off for some aerial sightseeing. Having flown over a thousand miles, they returned low level to their base at Leiston only to discover that the 357th had just returned from its most successful combat of the war, having shot down 55 enemy aircraft. It was a record for one day’s action in the Eighth Air Force and the two legendary Aces had missed it all!

In this majestic painting combining his love of landscape with aviation, Gerald Coulson depicts one of the most remarkable escapades of the war.
