Title WWII Model U.S. Army Air Force Bomber G1 Air Speed Computer – 8th Air Force – Decorative Aviation Clock – LukanowskyArt – 32 cm Description This decorative wall clock is a contemporary design object inspired by the iconic G1 Air Speed Computer used by the United States Army Air Forces during World War II, particularly aboard heavy bombers operated by the legendary 8th Air Force. The 8th Air Force played a decisive role in the Allied strategic bombing campaign over Europe, operating aircraft such as the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress and the Consolidated B-24 Liberator. These long-range daylight bombing missions required precise navigation, airspeed calculation, and altitude management, making mechanical flight computers and airspeed instruments essential tools for aircrews. The G1 Air Speed Computer was designed to assist pilots and navigators in calculating true airspeed based on indicated airspeed, pressure altitude, and air temperature. Its complex circular scales and calibrated markings represent the pinnacle of analog aviation engineering from the wartime period. This clock’s dial design faithfully reflects the visual language of such instruments, featuring layered scales, technical typography, and instrument-style layout characteristic of WWII-era U.S. Army Air Force cockpit equipment. The overall appearance evokes the atmosphere of bomber cockpits and navigation stations used during the European air campaign. This piece is an artistic reinterpretation inspired by historical aviation instrumentation. It is not an original military instrument and not a functional navigational device. The object has been created as a decorative tribute to aviation history and engineering heritage. About the Aircraft and Historical Context Aircraft operated by the 8th Air Force, including the B-17 and B-24, flew missions at high altitude under extreme conditions. Accurate airspeed calculations were critical for formation flying, fuel management, and bombing accuracy. Instruments such as the G1 Air Speed Computer were therefore indispensable, embodying the precision, reliability, and clarity demanded by wartime aviation. The design of this clock pays homage to that era, capturing both the technical complexity and the disciplined aesthetics of U.S. military aviation instrumentation.
