I'm the son of the pilot of this B17. It's actually a B17F. Only about 500 Es were produced. A few were flown by the Royal air force early in the war. The 8th air force flew F models early and G models later in the war. The events portrayed in this painting took place on June 28th, 1943. The plane was on a mission to bomb submarine pens in St. Nazaire. Flak damaged the middle of the plane, severing controls to tail elevators. Trying to maintain speed in formation without elevators caused the B17 to climb into a loop. Reduced speed to maintain level flight caused the plane to fall out of formation. Fighters attacked. Careful research identified the fighter groups that were scrambled that day. Both the ME-109 and Focke Wulf 190 marking are correct to the Luftwaffe units scrambled. The B17 marking are correct to the 351st BG (H), 510th squadron. Two engines were taken out by fighters and three gunners (both waist and ball turret) were killed in the air battle. The plane salvoed bombs over open water, and headed for the nearest land believing the chances of survival were greater on land than water. The plane made it to Belle Isle, a small island off the south Brittany coast. The seven parachutes are the seven crewmen who survived the air battle. There were approximately 8000 German infantry on the island - it was part of the Atlantic wall. They were taken prisoner and survived 22 months in German POW camps. The French citizens recovered the bodies of the three airmen killed in the air battle. After the war the bodies of the two waist gunners: Frank Hanan and Edward Tuminski were returned to the United States. The ball turret gunner: Merwyn Ranum is buried at the Normandy American Cemetery: Plot C, Row 26, Grave 9. In gratitude for the American role in the liberation of France the citizens of Belle Ile erected a monument near the site of the plane crash to the three airmen who died.
