The 2nd in Robert Taylor's pair of prints commemorating the Ninth Air Force.

A flight of P-47 Thunderbolts of the 404th Fighter group, 9th Air force, clear the target area after a low-level attack on the airfield inland from Havre, Normandy, 1944. Tracers wind up towards them from ground defenses and almost all of the aircraft have taken hits. Ground-attack pilots went in low, did the job and got our fast!
