ABOUT THE COVER<br />
When I was a little kid, I used to watch Texas Raiders fly. For many<br />
years the B-17 Texas Raiders was a huge part of my life. She was<br />
the reason why I joined the Commemorative Air Force in 2007. I am<br />
a professional photographer and support the CAF by taking photos<br />
and videos of people, places, and planes. So, it was not long before<br />
I began shooting for the TORA TORA TORA group as well. Over time,<br />
I’ve captured thousands of photos of crews, veterans, and people.<br />
There are over 600 photos on this cover to honor the people who<br />
were fortunate to experience the B-17 Flying Fortress and P-63<br />
Kingcobra. The cover is dedicated to our fallen CAF members.<br />
