Return of the Red Gremlin (B-17)
"I was pleased to create this image which honors the Red Gremlin and the men associated with her." - William Phillips
To honor this B-17 - which led the first 100-airplane daylight raid on occupied France and flew General Eisenhower to Gibraltar to command the invasion of North Africa - the print is countersigned by men who flew and maintained the aircraft during her illustrious career. Accompanying the print is a specially made gold bullion patch based on the Red Gremlin's unique nose art.
Each print has been hand-countersigned by pilot Paul W. Tibbets, bombardier Thomas W. Ferebee, navigator Theodore J. Van Kirk, flight engineer/top turret gunner Herman Haag, ball turret gunner Zackie T. Gowan Jr. and assistant crew chief Charles H. Peach.
