Stan Stokes. On December 10, 1941, during a bombing raid,
Capt. Colin Kelly’s B-17 came under attack from Japanese Zeros led
by 64-victory ace Saburo Sakai. As Kelly piloted his crippled aircraft
back to the Philippines, he ordered his crew to bail out;
he was killed in the ensuing attempt to crash-land his warbird.
His dramatic effort made him one of the war’s first heroes.

Field Marshal Hermann Goering. Although the warbird would
not play a significant role in combat, it was perhaps the most

Stan Stokes. The Brewster F2A Buffalo was the Navy’s first
monoplane fighter, though, by the time the U.S. entered World War
II, it was nearly obsolete. The Buffalo did, however, find success with
the Finnish Air Force as they faced the less advanced aircraft and less
experienced aviators of the Soviet Union. Here, Air Master Sergeant
Eino Juutilainen – the top-scoring Finnish ace of the war – pilots his
Buffalo, in which achieved 33 of his 94 kills, against invading Soviet
P-40s. Signed by the artist and Juutilainen!

Stan Stokes. First flown in June of 1959, the rocket-powered X-15 – despite the
fact that only three were manufactured – is one of the most legendary aircraft in
the history of flight. It set numerous speed and altitude records, many of which
remain standing after nearly fifty years: on October 3, 1967, for example, Colonel
William J. "Pete" Knight achieved a record-setting top speed of 4,519 miles per
hour. This limited edition print, depicting the X-15 high above the Earth's surface,
is signed by the artist and Col. Knight! 16”x 11½”.

Stan Stokes. On June 28, 1944, Capt. Arthur Fiedler Jr. – flying a mission
over Romania in his P-51 Mustang – encountered an unidentified Bf 109.
With his guns jammed, low on fuel, and unwilling to make himself a target,
he instinctively pulled his revolver and aimed it at the Luftwaffe pilot who
in turn jettisoned his canopy and bailed out. This limited edition print pays
tribute to the cunning exhibited by Fiedler on that fateful day, and arrives

Comprised of skilled aviators from the Army Air Corps, Navy, and Marines, the First American Volunteer
Group – or “Flying Tigers” – served as part of the Chinese Air Force from December of 1941 through July
of 1942. Their success bolstered morale at home during the early years of the war and the shark-mouthed
nose-art featured on their P-40 Warhawks is among the most recognizable images of World War II.
Pappy’s P-40
Stan Stokes. Among the most legendary Flying Tigers was Gregory “Pappy”
Boyington, a Marine pilot who resigned his military post to join the famed Pacific
unit during which time he destroyed 3.5 enemy aircraft (though Boyington himself

winning the Medal of Honor. This limited edition print depicts Col. Boyington’s
Warhawk during his time as a Flying Tiger and comes signed by
