Description
The winner of this package will receive a print of Keith Ferris' "In Commemoration The Golden Anniversary of the B-17 "Flying Fortress," July 1935-July 1985.
His best-known work is a mural he created for the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. Measuring 75 feet wide by 25 feet in height and titled "Fortress Under Fire", it depicts a World War II Boeing B-17 "Flying Fortress" bomber under attack.[1] The mural is also known as "Thunderbird", taking its name after the Thunderbird B-17 it depicts with historical accuracy.[3]
Ferris' extensive knowledge of aircraft, combined with his artistic talent, led him to develop several innovative camouflage patterns for military aircraft. Five of these camouflage patterns have been patented.
