Only one tiny defect that is very difficult to find - a 1/2 inch crease in the top white border. I've included a photo of it in the auction, but as you can see from the photo, it barely shows. Otherwise, the print is mint.

Long sold-out print released in 1992. Robert’s best Thunderbolt print, if you ask me. Plenty of Mustangs in the background, and one P-38 too. Plus an incredibly strong lineup of US Ace signatures. The two most famous US Fighter Group commanders. The two top scoring US pilots in the ETO. The first US Ace to be credited with 20 aerial victories. One ace from the 357th Fighter Group which had the most Aces in the 8th Air Force. On an airfield in the heart of the English countryside, fighter pilots of the US 8th Air Force start up and taxi out their Republic P-47 Thunderbolts. Their mission - long range bomber escort. Their destination - Germany. Above them, B-17s & P-51 Mustangs are already outward bound. A P-38 Lightning is being armed in the background. Nice touch by Robert to include all 3 US escort fighters in this tribute to 8th AF Fighter Command. Never framed, stored flat in a non-smoking, climate-controlled environment.
