Default Last Flight Painting

This is my newest painting, titled "Last Flight" and is depicting my grand-uncle's B-29 some where over the Pacific enroute to their target. The B-29 was shot down on Jan 27 1945, 4 managed to bail out (later died in the POW camps) and 4 others died after it exploded, and 2 (which I believe one was my uncle) managed to bail out, but their chutes failed to open. I painted this for the 64th anniversary this year. Managed to finish it on the anniversary. Just thought I'd share.
