Lest We Forget: WWII

Lest We Forget: WWII

This evocative sculpture by Fredric Arnold is a memorial and tribute to the American airmen who died in World War II. The figures are composites of other pilots in his squadron when he flew Lockheed P-38s from North Africa. The grouping strives to capture archetypal personalities and attitudes of fighter pilots, as well as the interplay between the living and the dead.
