The 384th Bomb Group Heritage Association executed a large-scale and deeply meaningful project, the commemorative wing panel, by utilizing individual panel hosts to transport a donated B-17G wing panel across various locations and reunions. This massive undertaking, which took place over the course of nine years, allowed 154 veterans from the 384th Bomb Group to sign the piece before its permanent installation at the Hill Aerospace Museum in Ogden, Utah.
