| Return
of the Red Gremlin
This B-17--which led the first 100-airplane daylight raid on occupied
France with Tibbets, Ferebee, and Van Kirk on the flight deck, and flew
General Eisenhower to Gibraltar to command the invasion of North Africa--
is countersigned by six men who flew and maintained the aircraft during
her illustrious career. Accompanying the print is a specially made gold
bullion patch based on the Red Gremlin's unique nose art.
Countersigned by pilot Paul W. Tibbets, bombardier Thomas W. Ferebee,
navigator Theodore J. Van Kirk, flight engineer/top turret gunner Herman
Haag, ball turret gunner Zackie T. Gowan, Jr.; and assistant crew chief
Charles H. Peach.
