Description

WWII B-25 Mitchell Historical Plaque IN FULL COLOR- w/ Actual Relic on an 8"x10" Display Plaque

From the Workshop of Artist Craig Tinder - Appreciate the art, learn the story, feel the history.

This is a unique opportunity to own an actual relic of a combat-worn, B-25 Mitchell Bomber that was acquired directly from the source and has NEVER been in collectors’ circulation.

This 8” x 10” (20 x 25 cm) historical plaque combines this rare artifact, along with the story of the piece, and a beautifully detailed illustration created by artist Craig Tinder.

The B-25 Mitchell was highly successful twin-engined, medium bomber that served in every major theater of operation during WWII. Continually reconfigured for new mission, the B-25 served a multitude of roles during combat as well as in peace time.

This specific fragment came from the engine cowl panel of B-25J-15-N aircraft SN 44-289398. Now known as "Old Glory", 44-28938 rolled off the assembly line in Kansas City, KS on 9 August 1944 and was immediately dispatched to the 12th Army Air Force, 57th Bomb Wing, 310th Bombardment Group, 428th Bombardment Squadron stationed in Italy. She participated in various bombing operations throughout the war and is one of only two remaining B-25 Mitchells still flying to see combat operations in World War II. She served a number of post-war duties including fire bomber, corporate transport, and air tanker. 16 September 1995, she took the skies once more donning the patriotic livery, "Old Glory".

Known Relic History

This relic originates from the engine cowl panel of B-25J-15-N aircraft, serial number 44-28938, now famously known as Old Glory. Built in Kansas City, KS, Old Glory rolled off the assembly line on 9 August 1944 and was quickly dispatched to the 12th Army Air Force, 57th Bomb Wing, 310th Bombardment Group, 428th Bombardment Squadron in Italy. There, she participated in numerous bombing missions during World War II. Remarkably, she is one of only two B-25 Mitchells still flying today that saw active combat operations during the war.

After the war, Old Glory transitioned to peacetime duties, serving as a fire bomber, corporate transport, and air tanker. Her versatility demonstrated the adaptability of the B-25 platform in various roles beyond military service. In 2020, however, Old Glory suffered a crash that required a full restoration. During the restoration process, several original 1940s components, including the engine cowl panel, were replaced as part of bringing the aircraft back to airworthy condition.

The fragment included with this piece was removed from the original engine cowl panel during the restoration. It stands as a testament to the aircraft's enduring legacy, representing both its service during World War II and its continued role as a symbol of aviation history. Fully restored, Old Glory now flies again, educating the public and preserving the legacy of the brave aircrews who piloted the B-25 Mitchell into combat.
