"Winters Welcome" a damaged B-17 on final approach during Winter with wheels and flaps down over the British Countryside in East Anglia. The roar of the engine's flushes two Pheasants from a hedgerow, while farm workers in the fields look on.

The B-17 has been damaged in the tail by fighters over Germany and is difficult to handle. The Co Pilot works hard with the pilot to bring the plane into the glide path as other B-17 stack up behind.

The Publishers Proof print is signed by four B-17 pilots who flew combat missions over Europe, Alvin Brown, Robert Burns, Harry Munford and Medal of Honor winner Bill Lawley. The companion print Running the Gauntlet is signed by three famous Luftwaffe pilots, Dieter Hbarak, Gunther Rall and Walter Wolfrum.
