They Fought With What They Had by John Shaw
Late November 1941, Clark Field, Philippine Islands. The U.S. Army Air Corps prepares for days of infamy ahead. Meagerly-equipped crews of the 19th Bomb Group prepare their B-17s for the day's practice missions, unaware that in mere days, Clark Field and other nearby U.S. bases would be savaged by enemy surprise attacks. Many would be taken prisoner, and some of those shown here, such as Colin Kelly and Harl Pease, would gain tragic fame. The print honor this gallant group of great veterans who inspired our nation, doing so much with very little, fighting with what they had.
Main edition bears the signatures of at least three of the following airmen: Robert Altman, Edward Jacquet, Melvin McKenzie, Robert Phillips, John Wallach and Edward Jackfert.
