Description
Aviation Artist Randy Green depicts the dauntless crews of 9th Air Force A-26 Invaders in action over a frozen river valley. In the lead is A-26B #43-22369, "STINKY" from the 552nd Bomb Squadron, 386th Bomb Group stationed at Beaumont, France. Thundering down the fog shrouded valley, "STINKY" and wingman survey the damage inflicted moments ago to a fleeing Wehrmacht armored column.
The 552nd was a truly tactical air force. Before the Invasion of Normandy, it was tasked with air control and ground preparation for the D-Day landings. Often operating out of makeshift airfields within striking distance of the front lines, the 552nd had the role of closely supporting the ground troops as they rolled up on Hitler's Germany.
