The Podington "Big Picture" on display at the Imperial War Museum, Duxford. This piece of "wall-art" represents a B-17 of the 92nd Bomb Group. United States Eighth Air Force. The 92nd was the oldest group in the Eighth Air Force having been the first group to make a non-stop crossing of the Atlantic to the UK in August 1942. This Picture was removed from a hut at the Podington site in October 1989 by the Eighth Wall Art Conservation Society with the assistance of the USAF Europe. After the closure of Podington in 1946 the airfield was returned to agricultural use and the hut converted into a pig sty. It is probably for this reason that the picture survived. Originally painted by S/Sgt Waldschmidt.
