The B-17 Flying Fortress was a strategic weapon in the daylight bombing campaigns against German aggression during World War II. With nearly 13,000 aircraft built between 1936 and 1945, less than 50 remain intact worldwide.

This relic fragment was removed from B-17G-95-DL Flying Fortress, 44-83872, during a port wing spar restoration in 2001. Originally manufactured at the Douglas Aircraft Corporation in Long Beach, CA, it was delivered on July 12, 1945. The aircraft served with the U.S. Navy as a PB-1W until 1955. It became privately owned and appeared at General Curtis LeMay's retirement ceremony in 1965. After many years of restoration, the aircraft donned the livery of the 381st Bombardment Group and would be known as "Texas Raiders." 

This 5” x 7” (12.7 x 18 cm) historical plaque displays this rare artifact, along with the story of the piece, all combined into an attractive, ready-to-hang wood plaque.
