"Mustang Escort”
This lithograph is soon to be closed!
With
the
advent of the P-51 Mustang Fighter, the lack of
long range bomber escort was remedied. This brought
many vital German plants into effective range of the
Air Force bombers, making long-range penetration a reality.
"The Pawn That Changed The Game." The P-51's
documented here are somewhere over England flying high
altitude cover for allied bombers on a mission deep
into enemy territory. The closest three are P-51D's
and the fourth is a P51B. These honorable aviators are
of the 361st fighter group, 375th squadron, United States
Air Force.
One
very notable feature of this piece was that Jim was
able to present print #1 of Mustang Escort to Edgar
Scmued the designer of the P-51. Mr. Shmued accepted
graciously. Later Mr. Shmued sent a letter to Jim saying
Jim's painting was a tribute to the aircraft. He mentioned
that he hung it in his living room. TwoYears after the
presentation Mr. Shmued passed away. Jim was invited
to his funeral where the last event was to fly a squadron
of P-51's over the Pacific Ocean off the coast of San
Diego, California spreading the ashes of one of the
worlds most ingenious designers.Mustang
