‘It’s what friends are for’
Lonely, and probably slightly lost, a damaged B17 struggles to make home base as the light rapidly fades. Joined by two ‘little friends’ for moral and combat support all three are committed to night landings - not something to be treated lightly in those early days of flying. A scenario repeated many times as the US 8th Air Force cranked up it’s operations in 1944.
Composite, in deliberately muted light conditions, constructed from airshow photographs and archive background.

I’m sure the two little friends were a most welcomed sight under the circumstances very reassuring indeed... good composite the chosen background works very well click 
What a great tribute to the flying boys of yester year.
Nicely done.
