About John Davy Crockett

John Davy Crockett was among the generation of American airmen whose lives were forever changed by the events of December 7, 1941. His signature on this artwork preserves a connection to one of the most pivotal days in American history.

"Flying Into A War" commemorates the famous B-17 crews that were en route to Hawaii when Japanese forces launched their surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. Expecting a routine flight, the crews instead found themselves arriving in the midst of a combat zone as enemy aircraft attacked military installations across Oahu.

The dramatic arrival of the Flying Fortresses became one of the enduring stories of Pearl Harbor. With limited fuel, little warning, and chaos unfolding below, many crews were forced to land under extraordinary circumstances while the attack continued around them.

The events of that morning marked America's entry into World War II and forever changed the course of world history.

Today, memorabilia associated with Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941, B-17 Flying Fortresses, and the opening days of World War II remains highly sought after by collectors of military and aviation history.
