Description
Relic - Known History
This relic originates from the engine cowl panel of B-25J-15-N aircraft, serial number 44-28938, now famously known as Old Glory. Built in Kansas City, KS, Old Glory rolled off the assembly line on 9 August 1944 and was quickly dispatched to the 12th Army Air Force, 57th Bomb Wing, 310th Bombardment Group, 428th Bombardment Squadron in Italy. There, she participated in numerous bombing missions during World War II. Remarkably, she is one of only two B-25 Mitchells still flying today that saw active combat operations during the war.

After the war, Old Glory transitioned to peacetime duties, serving as a fire bomber, corporate transport, and air tanker. Her versatility demonstrated the adaptability of the B-25 platform in various roles beyond military service. In 2020, however, Old Glory suffered a crash that required a full restoration. During the restoration process, several original 1940s components, including the engine cowl panel, were replaced as part of bringing the aircraft back to airworthy condition.
Artist Craig Tinder cutting pieces of "Old Glory" for use in the limited edition print
The fragment included with this piece was removed from the original engine cowl panel during the restoration. It stands as a testament to the aircraft's enduring legacy, representing both its service during World War II and its continued role as a symbol of aviation history. Fully restored, Old Glory now flies again, educating the public and preserving the legacy of the brave aircrews who piloted the B-25 Mitchell into combat.
