Do you mind telling me who did that picture and if it has a title or caption?

One of my treasures is a B-17 print “No Empty Bunks Tonight” by Bill Phillips.

I just searched on “paintings of P47’s” and came up with that one. My great grandad would regale us kids with WW2 stories - he was Army Air Force - B17’s - nineteen years old. Pilot. Anyway Nicolas Trudgian was the artist and I found it here:http://www.aviationartprints.com/thunderbolt.htm

Wm. Phillips is fantastic. I think every one of his paintings has a plane in it, One of my favorites is 'Victory Pass', P-51 Mustangs overflying a German castle.

Tucker,

I hate to contradict you, but that is a B-24J in Phillips’ painting of “No Empty Bunks Tonight.” I happen to own a print of it and am looking at it right now. I bought it because my father was a nose gunner on the B-24J.
