Still in front line service as a major component of our strategic bomber forces, the Boeing B-52 was built before most of its crewmembers were even born. The first flight of the YB-52 prototype was April 15, 1952, and the production that followed reflected a continued development of the massive bomber. Boeing's B-52 Stratofortress became the core of the modern Strategic Air Command. While the aircraft changed little visually, many significant modifications and improvements were made in the design: greater power, redesigned flight controls, improved avionics and countermeasures, not to mention airframe life extension programs.

There are so many excellent artists out there.
The ones I enjoy spend long hours talking with veterans before painting...some keep in touch over a space of a year..in order that every little nuance is captured.
You can tell when you see these prints...there's power and influence with them.
There's a print..have had the hardest time finding it...should have saved the first time.
A Mom is holding her little girl..who is touching the wall at the Vietnam memorial.
The husband is touching his little girl from the beyond....just a powerfull print.
