''S/Sgt. Robert Gilbert''
Bob Gilbert served with the 381st Bomb Group, 533rd Bomb Squadron, flying as ball turret gunner aboard B-17s. He and his crew successfully completed 35 combat missions, including notorious targets such as Schweinfurt and Big B(Berlin).
Bob kindly gave me permission to use his photo as a reference for my graphite artwork, and tells me it was taken in approx. October of 1944. I would also like to mention the original photo is featured in Mr. Gilbert’s wartime memoir, "The View From The Bottom Up.''
The original is for my private collection, but prints are available for purchase at: 9.99 GBP / approx.19.99 USD/ approx. 14.63 Euros.
Please allow for postage and packing which would have to be added to this price.
