The Belle of Bassingbourn by Russell Smith

The Belle of Bassingbourn by Russell Smith

The Belle Of Bassingbourn is a 33.5 x 22.5 inch limited edition print depicting the moment on May 17, 1943Ā while the ground crews of the 91st stand on the field of BassingbournĀ as the bombers return from their mission. They have particularly been anticipating the return of one bomber, the Memphis Belle, returning from her 25th and final mission. Upon her return Capt. Morgan makes his victory pass over the airfield, coming in so low that he seems to ā€œcut the grassā€. As he passes the control tower he pulls the Belle up, bringing her almost directly over the heads of the ground crews. Artist Russell Smith worked closely with Col. Morgan (pilot of the Memphis Belle) during its creation to ensure accuracy.
