Hobbs Army Air Field B-17 Project

A life-size metal silhouette honoring the men, women and aircraft of World War II, this sculpture will depict the world famous Boeing B-17 “Flying Fortress” along with support personnel, air and ground crews.  This one-of-a-kind aviation sculpture by Lea County artist Brian Norwood is proposed for the Hobbs Industrial Air Park in Hobbs, New Mexico—site of the former Hobbs Army Air Field.  From 1942 to 1946, HAAF served as a transitional training base where pilots learned to fly four-engine bombers, chief among them the B-17.   The sculpture will stand nineteen feet tall, and stretch for more than 78 feet from end to end.  For more information, contact Brian Norwood at bgnorwood75@valornet.com or by calling (505) 441-7391.  Brian is the creator of The Trail Ahead, the Jal Cowboy Sculpture Project. Thank you for your support in honoring our World War II veterans!
