"Alice From Dallas" - The Painting

After an attack by German fighters, the B-17F “Alice From Dallas” is seriously hit on the left wing by sudden and precise fire of German Flak around 10:20 a.m., above Belgian territory. There seems to exist two different stories about what downed "Alice From Dallas" this day: the first, and well-spread on the Internet, is the Flak version. The second is the fighter attacks, and this is the version written on MACR n°678 by Lt. B. A. DeMarco that is showned in the miniserie.

I did this painting last year to pay tribute to the "Alice From Dallas" crew, after having seen the Masters of the Air about the Schweinfurt-Regensburg mission (EP3). I choose the Flak version story, and painted the B-17 from above to show the extensive damages sustained at this day, moments before the bail out bell sounds by 1Lt Roy F. Claytor. I tried to be "accurate" in regards to this scene in EP3, as there are not much details available in the archives.

You can find the HD version with its details on my Artstation portfolio here: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/8bYKOR

Claytor: "I like your aftershave." Buck: "Good. This is how close I want you on my wing today."

this week’s newest arrivals:

sawyer spielberg as lieutenant roy f. claytor (yep, we’ve got another colin hanks situation on our hands here!)

charlie macvicar as (possibly) staff sergeant william j. williams (i mentioned him last week as he was just credited as “gunner williams”, but the majority of this williams’s crew is cast, so)

robert hands has been cast, but in an unknown role. and @carninator-blog caught that bill dilloway’s credits have him playing col. wilbur w. airing AND col. william f. airing. wilbur airing can be seen here and was the commander of the third air force reserve region. given that i don’t know what one guy has to do with the other, this may be a similar names mistake.
