Incorporating all of his meticulous attention to detail, Jim’s memorable piece takes us to Bassingbourn in early 1944. Whilst most of the 91st Bomb Group have returned safely following a grueling daylight mission to Germany during ‘Big Week’, one badly damaged B-17F is forced to make an emergency landing. Fortunately help is quickly on hand.

It is a scene that could have been played out on a dozen airfields in East Anglia during ‘Big Week’ in early 1944; a badly damaged B-17F, mauled by enemy fighters, has battled its way home. 

In James Dietz’s compelling painting Sitting Pretty, it’s a bomber from the 91st Bomb Group that’s run into trouble this time, yet somehow, with gritty determination and super-human effort, they’ve made it back to Bassingbourn. But, with power finally failing on all four engines, it takes the crew one final effort to land their crippled warbird. Fortunately they’ve made it one piece. With the rest of their colleagues now on final approach, for the first time in hours the exhausted but relieved crew can savor the moment. They have survived.

Never framed, stored flat in a non-smoking, climate-controlled environment.
