The mural hangs in the main stairwell of the school near the front entrance. Commemorative Object Sgt. Peter C. Sanders was asked to come up with a design to brighten up the wall of the night simulation hanger at Harrington Airfield. His design features the 'Spirit of aerial combat'. The recruits on the left are approaching the school, represented by the books whose titles read weapons, night vision turrets, radar sighting, and so on, showing the subjects they studied under the eyes of the spirit. The graduated are shown leaving on the right in flight gear, for missions to occupied territory.

At the end of the war, the airfield was disbanded and when asked what was to become of the mural, Sgt. Sanders thought his friends in Clipston may like it. That evening on a visit to the Bull's Head pub, he found Major Regnart, a member of the local school board who, when offered the mural, thought the school would like to have it as a souvenir of the friendship of our two countries and of their joint struggle.

The school accepted the mural the following day and it has hung in the school's main stairwell ever since.

The medium is acrylic on plywood. The caption text is in English.

To the people of Clipston: That you may not forget the American Airmen who will always carry in their hearts fond memories of happy hours spent in the friendliest village in the world.
