Description
Limited Edition of 1500
34" x 25"
Personally autographed by Capt. tom Blackburn, and seven other original VF-17 pilots.
VF-17 became operational on January 1, 1943 as Tom Blackburn assumed command of the first Jolly Rogers squadron. In only 76 days of combat, VF-17s 154 1/2 victories set the standard for Naval fighter operations that fews have matched. On November 1, 1943, 18 Vals escorted by 12 Zeros fly towards our invasion forces landing at Empress Augusta Bay on Bougainville. Eight Corsairs from VF-17 intercept and the Japanese attack breaks up. Above an eerily smoldering Mt. Bagana, Cdr. Tom Blackburn dives out of the early morning sun and blasts a Zero out of the sky, then flies through the fireball for his first of eleven victories: What a sensation!.
