"Sentimental Journey" is a B-17G Flying Fortress built in 1944 and delivered too late to see combat in World War II. After serving in various military roles, the aircraft was eventually acquired by the Commemorative Air Force (formerly Confederate Air Force) in 1978 and underwent extensive restoration to return her to pristine WWII configuration. Based at Falcon Field in Mesa, Arizona, "Sentimental Journey" has become one of the most recognized and beloved warbirds in America.

Named after the popular 1945 Les Brown and Doris Day song that captured the longing of servicemen for home, "Sentimental Journey" represents the emotional connection between the aircraft and the young men who flew them. The beautiful nose art featuring an elegant pinup girl has become an iconic image in warbird aviation, symbolizing both the artistry of the era and the humanity of the crews who personalized their bombers.

What makes "Sentimental Journey" truly special is that she's not just a museum piece – she's a flying tribute to the Greatest Generation. The Commemorative Air Force maintains and flies this B-17G to airshows across the country, offering tours and even flight experiences that allow people to step back in time and experience what it was like aboard a Flying Fortress. The sound of four Wright R-1820 radial engines and the sight of this magnificent bomber in flight keeps the memory of WWII aircrews alive for new generations.

Whether you've toured "Sentimental Journey" at an airshow, flown aboard this historic aircraft, or simply appreciate the dedication to preserving flying history, this nose art t-shirt connects you to a living legend. It's more than a shirt – it's a tribute to the volunteers who keep these warbirds flying and the veterans they honor.
