Size: 28" x 12" Edition: 300 Subject: RF-8G Crusader and the USS Coral Sea.
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.
Each print in Philip West's Limited Edition, Honor The Brave, is signed by the artist.
