Briefing at 0500 hours on the morning of 14 October 1943
brought the crews of the 92nd Bomb Group news they didn’t
want to hear: “It’s Schweinfurt again!” The same message was
being repeated in USAAF bomb group briefing rooms all over
eastern England in the early hours of what was to become
forever known as “Black Thursday”. Robert Taylor’s majestic
new painting shows Colonel Budd Peaslee’s B-17 Equipoise,
piloted by Kemp McLaughlin, leading the Fortresses of the
92nd Bomb Group en-route to the vital ball-bearing factories
at Schweinfurt.
Each print has been signed by THREE
pilots, all veterans of the second Schweinfurt mission on 14
October 1943, including the mission command pilot. |
