On a Wing and a Prayer
Philip West
Size: 27" x 16" Edition: 100 Subject: Fairy Swordfish of the Fleet Air Arm.
The venerable Fairy Swordfish was the Fleet Air Arms premier torpedo-bomber at the outbreak of World War 11. It may have looked archaic in appearance, but its courageous crews proved time and time again that it was a potent fighting machine. 'Stringbags' as they were affectionately known, served in several important roles and theatres including Coastal Command, the Mediterranean and flying from MAC-ships protecting North Atlantic and Arctic convoys.
Each print in Philip West's Limited Edition, On a Wing and a Prayer, is individually signed by former Swordfish pilot Stanley Brand.
