Bearing all the hallmarks of a classic Robert Taylor masterwork, this superb FIFTEEN SIGNATURE collector's piece includes not only autographs of highly-respected 100th BG veterans, but also original pencil signatures of some of the most famous B-17 veterans to serve during WWII, including the Pilot of the famous Memphis Belle and a recipient of the Medal of Honor!
