    An elderly man in a blue polo shirt sits at a table displaying a detailed scale model of a World War II-era heavy bomber aircraft, likely a B-17 Flying Fortress or Lancaster. Behind the model is a framed black-and-white photograph showing two men in military uniforms, suggesting a personal connection to military service. The setting appears to be a home interior with a brass table lamp and decorative items visible.

    Alfred P. Murphy will be awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for his service with a B-17 Flying Fortress flight crew, a model of which is on the table, during World War II. Murphy uses the model in his visits to local schools to explain the workings of the aircraft and its crew. In the background is a photo of Murphy with his late brother, William, who also served as an enlisted flight crew member during the war, first on a B-17 and later on a C-54 Skymaster.
