Image size: 36 4/8"w x 14 3/8"h. Edition size: 850 signed and numbered Published from the artist's original work September 1999. Call for Quote Sweet Rose O'Grady was a B-l7G-5-VE. She flew with the 427th Squadron, 303rd Bomb Group, First Air Division, 41st Combat Bomb Wing, 8th Air Force, out of Molesworth, England. This B-17 flew 124 missions, more than any other aircraft in the unit. Here she is shown battle-damaged, returning from a mission. She'd dropped behind the formation and was alone in the vast European skies-one of the things most feared by bomber crews, because then they became easy prey for the fighters of the Third Reich. Rosie is joined by some Spitfires, two Mark IX's of the 241st Squadron. They will escort her home to England. Rosie and her crew are alone no more.
