Will the memory fade?

The "greatest generation" may be our WW II heroes but it may also include those who insist that the veterans never be forgotten. Promoting the accomplishments of WW II aviators has been the life work of sculptor Robert Henderson. When he began to record that era with monumental bronze warbirds, those who had created that history were fading quickly. A nonprofit tax-exempt corporation-- Groups Memorial Inc., of the Army Air Forceswas established to gather funds for further sculptures. Its website-- www.warbirdcentral.com-explains why this history must be preserved and how you can become involved. Corporations, clubs and the families of WW II veterans have taken up the gauntlet to ensure that this part of history will never fade.

Major sites at which Henderson's huge sculptures of aircraft such as the P-51, P-38, P-47, P-40, B-17, B-24 and B-29 may be seen include the United States Air Force Academy and national air bases and aviation museums. Ongoing projects include a C-46 and a B-47.
