About the Relic & Process

This relic originates from the engine exhaust manifold from B-17F-50-BO Serial #42-5427, from the 20th Bomb Squadron, 2nd Bomb Group. On 19 December 1943, 42-5427 was caught in a prolonged and intense 37-minute battle with Luftwaffe fighters, including Bf 109s, Me 110s, Me 210s, Me 410s, and Fw 190s. The bomber, engaged by seven enemy aircraft, sustained severe damage, with its right-wing engulfed in flames.

Despite the crew’s efforts to maintain altitude with the formation, 42-5427 ultimately went down in the rugged Tyrolean Mountains east of Innsbruck. Eight of the ten crew members managed to parachute to safety but were captured upon landing and spent the remainder of the war in POW camps.
