This painting, entitled "Col. Robert S. Johnson, was created by Oklahoma Artist R.T. Foster and dedicated in 2000. Interestingly, it is part of a mural located in the Oklahoma capital building along with the previously mentioned commemoration of World War I, "Pro Patria." Like "Pro Patria," It glorifies the war effort, emphasizing the contribution of Oklahomans. Robert S. Johnson is known to have been the most successful pilot flying in WWII -- that is, the pilot with the most "hits." Like the painting, this phrase is misleading. It says nothing of the magnitude of death that the bombs dropped from caused on the ground.

The painting is victorious, showing two American planes with a clear shot of their target, the bridge in the background, and the pilot smiling and waving. If this piece of art is to be believed, then the act of war is a jovial experience. This is Oklahoman propaganda, if such a thing exists. It does not even serve the function of commemorating any of the dead Americans who doubtless flew with Col. Johnson. In fact, it does not even acknowledge their existence.
