Mission Completed by Robert Taylor

Having survived a barrage of flak on the run-in to the target, this B-17 has taken a pounding from enemy fighters on the way home. She is handling badly and has been losing height all the way back from Germany. Her crew have fought all the way to bring their ship home and they are exhausted.

Robert’s emotive piece, set in the tranquility of the English countryside, shows farm workers in the wheat fields pause as the mighty war-birds thunder overhead.

Behind, another damaged B-17 will make it back to base today. Another mission completed!
