Limited Edition Aviation Mounted Print
Honor the Brave by Philip E West
All are signed by the artist
One of the last aircraft to come aboard following the day’s combat actions was the (photo-bird) RF-8G Crusader.
Unarmed, apart from cameras and film, the eyes of the fleet pilots roamed far and wide throughout Vietnam to bring back vital post-strike photographs and reconnaissance information.
The USS Coral Sea represented one of twenty-one attack and anti-submarine carriers deployed to the Golf of Tonkin. Their crews displayed courage, duty, sacrifice and service.
Primary Mounted Print Edition £135.00
Philip West is recognised as one of the world’s finest aviation artists. Collectors of his original oil paintings span the globe, many waiting patiently for his next breathtaking canvas to appear. Self taught, Philip has won many accolades for his paintings, not the least of which was the prestigious Duane Whitney Award for Excellence at the 1997 American Society of Aviation Artists Exhibition.
Every limited edition print bears the unique signature of the artist. This signature is the artist’s seal of approval that the print is a faithful and accurate reproduction of his original painting. Over the years collectors have demonstrated their enthusiasm for prints countersigned by pilots and/or crew members. Wherever possible we try to accommodate this preference, but sometimes it is either impractical or prohibitively expensive. e.g. when the relevant people live overseas.
All prints are carefully wrapped in cellophane anc board for dispatch along with the Certificate of Authenticity. Prints are dispatched with ParcelForce
